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.
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.
