This rug was collected in the 40s and 50s by a friend who traveled around the country to collect rugs directly from the original owners and weavers. He had a TV program in the 50s called "The Open Road with John Daggett". He had many of these rugs and gave us one as a wedding present in 1971. It hung on our wall for over 25 years and has since been rolled on a rod in the back of an air-conditioned closet. It doesn't seem to ever have been hemmed or patched. Note the photo showing the line intentionally placed there to allow evil spirits to climb off. That has always worked for us. Measures 5' x 8'. Weight 5#.
