Dorothy Whitewater, Rug, Ganado Red, Navajo, 28" x 45"

This Navajo Ganado Red rug by Dorothy Whitewater showcases a bold, symmetrical design grounded in the rich red tones characteristic of the Ganado tradition. A commanding central geometric motif in black, gray, and cream creates a strong focal point against the deep red field. Stepped corner elements and smaller repeating accents add balance and visual rhythm throughout the composition. A dark outer border neatly frames the design, enhancing the rug’s crisp lines and dramatic color contrast. Handwoven by Navajo artist Dorothy Whitewater, this distinctive Ganado Red rug beautifully reflects the craftsmanship and enduring artistry of Navajo weaving.
