[Illustration: Rug design]
Go to the rug room in the Trading Post and look for the miniature
paintings of early Navajo rugs. Some of these are by the artist,
Elbridge Ayer Burbank who visited here many times. During his travels he
copied old rugs and sent them to John Lorenzo Hubbell who showed them to
the weavers. This is how some of the old rug designs were preserved.
[Illustration: A Ganado Red rug always has a red background and
usually a black border. The other two colors used are grey and
white. Color the rug using these colors.]
