I never saw a Navajo Kilim before. Yesterday i searched and found some in the web. After comparing i guess this is no or not an old one. The only relation is the dark/white border. The main design seems to be unusual for Germantown Kilim. The dyes could be natural but the wool is rather poor quality.
