Abstract

Weaving is expressed as an art form that is becoming extinct. If one is not familiar with weaving, it uses wool or yarn to loop between the weft and warp to create intricate designs. These designs cannot be duplicated and are often unique to the weaver and their clan group. Like the Tree of Life, some rugs are used to tell cultural stories and teach life lessons.
