Native American, Southwestern United States, Dine (Navajo), ca. mid-20th century CE.

The stepped and zigzag lines seem to expand and almost vibrate – hence the pattern name, eye dazzler! This is a larger rug or heavy throw blanket, and perfect to display on a wall today! Size: 61″ L x 39″ W (154.9 cm x 99.1 cm)
