This Teec Nos Pos rug by Diné (Navajo) weaver Darlene Littleben of Rock Point, Arizona, reflects one of the most intricate and visually complex styles in Navajo weaving. This one-of-a-kind rug is woven from handspun sheep wool using both natural and commercially dyed fibers, including bright aniline colors that create a rich and vibrant palette. The weaving is framed in black and gray, with highly detailed geometric patterns filling the interior in a style known for its precision and complexity.

Darlene Littleben is part of the well-known Littleben family of weavers from Northern Navajo lands, a family recognized for their mastery of Teec Nos Pos textiles. This style developed in the early 1900s and became known for its intricate designs and bold color combinations, influenced in part by the demand for complex patterned rugs in broader markets, styled after the then popular “Persian carpets.” Today, Teec Nos Pos weavings are admired for their technical difficulty and artistic beauty, and this rug is a beautiful example of that tradition carried forward through family and community weaving knowledge.
