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, 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. Copyright attributed
