Help Please?!?!?

Hi everyone. I was lucky to make it to one yard sale today. Good news is that it was a very good one. Since it was 11:30 in the morning I didn't think I had a chance at finding anything good. Not true, I found this at a decent price. I think. The girl claimed that when she was a child her family would drive across country every year. She says she has a couple like this, one of which she showed me. A much larger tapestry or rug? This one is only 18 inches by 9 inches. She says it is Navajo.

Can anyone tell me what this is? For decoration? To put on a table? Also, does this look authentic Navajo? Thanks!!!!
