DRUZE WEAVING

In the last post I mentioned a Druze weaving that I have on consignment in my shop.  I decided to show a section of this runner.  The pattern is very complex and almost chaotic.  I'm sure it is full of symbolism and I would love to know something about that however the Druze people are quite secretive and stay to themselves so unless I happen to meet a Druze in Santa Fe who is willing to help me out, I doubt that I will ever know much about it.

This piece was consigned to me by a retired anthropologist, now living in Santa Fe.  She purchased the weaving in Israel however it probably was woven in Syria.  I find the Druze people to be quite fascinating.  I did find a lot of info about them on the internet.
