1910s Whirling Log Rug

Antique (1910s) Navajo Weaving with a Central Whirling Log Design Motif. This weaving is coming out of a collection and is in excellent condition.

The Whirling Log symbol is not associated with the Swastika and pre-dates World War II. Long before its appearance in WWII, the Whirling Log symbol has been seen as a symbol of healing, protection, and well-being not only by the Navajo people, but also by inhabitants of ancient India, Tibet, and many cultures across Asia. The Whirling Log symbol comes from a Navajo folk tale and is considered to represent well-being and good luck.
