Storm Navajo rugs - Tuba City Navajo rug
Navajo rugs, blankets and weavings

The Storm pattern was accepted as a Navajo rug weaving style in the 1950's. Typically a bordered rug rendered in black, white, gray and red color combinations, Storm is a distinctive Navajo rug pattern originating in the Tuba City area or western half of the Navajo reservation. Basic features of the Storm Navajo rug pattern include a center box or square, which is described as a hogan or center of the world; smaller boxes at or near each corner of the rug, called houses of the wind or sacred mountain; and four zigzagged lines representing lightning, connecting the center square to each smaller corner box. Two figures, symbolizing water bugs or pinon beetles lie at center top and bottom of Storm Navajo rugs.
