A beautiful Mouse Pad in the form of a Miniature Carpet!

No two Navajo rugs are exactly alike. However, with practice one can trace many rugs to their place of origin. This is possible because certain trading posts produce rugs of distinctive style, pattern and color. Perfect examples of such distinct styled rugs are those made at Teec Nos Pas.

Located near the common boundary point of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah, is Teec Nos Pas. Pronounced "Tees – Nahs- Pas" and meaning "Trees in a Circle" in Navajo, it takes its name from the cottonwood trees that grow around the water at the trading post’s remote location. These rugs are the most distinctive of all the Navajo's specialized textile types because of their design complexity and abundance and variety of color. The Teec Nos Pas reserves its greatest appeal for the serious collector.
