A Navajo Two Gray Hills rug (also spelled Two Grey Hills) is a highly regarded style of traditional Navajo (Diné) weaving originating from the Two Grey Hills/Toadlena area in the eastern part of the Navajo Nation, near New Mexico. This regional style emerged around 1911 and is celebrated as one of the finest in Navajo textile arts, often called the "Cadillac" of Navajo rugs for its quality and refinement.
