Description

i believe this is a Navajo Spirit Rug.  I've been told by 4 experts (2 weavers, 2 dealers) it's authentic. But the age is something I am curious about.  An expert interested in buying the rug dated it at 1940s.

But because of the spider hole, I believe the rug is much older.  Spider holes were a defect and taken out of rugs long ago. Do you think this Navaho rug is much older, 1800s? Thank you!
