Germantown Eyedazzler Weaving, circa 1890

19th century circa 1890 Navajo blanket textile woven of Germantown Yarns in an Eyedazzler pattern of vibrant colors including red, green, yellow, black and white. Germantown textiles like this were woven by Native American Navajo weavers in the late 19th century. Introduced to the weavers through trade, the Navajo favored the commercial yarns originating from mills in the area of Germantown, Pennsylvania, for their vibrant colors. This textile is best suited for use as a wall hanging/tapestry or furniture throw and can be hung vertically or horizontally
