Sections drawn from traditions such as Two Grey Hills, Ganado, Storm Pattern, Chief's Blanket, Teec Nos Pos, and pictorial designs sit side by side, each panel reflecting the distinct colors, motifs, and techniques of its regional origin. Sampler rugs are uncommon and highly prized, as weaving several styles in one textile demands exceptional technical range and precision.
