Well, it ain't Persian or Turkish! I would say more Eastern Asian, Tibetan maybe?

I consulted an expert who assures me it's woven.

Can't help you with that rug, but I am familiar with this one, worn by convicted Dem congressman James Traficant.

What is this, one of those PBS antiques appraisal shows?

It is a machine made copy of a Navajo Indian carpet (too precise and neat to ever be hand made) IMHO.

I'd say it's Swiss.

Haven't seen one like it in NM, and I've seen many of the local weavers work.

Thanks for all who are willing to help. I am led to believe it is of SW Nataive American design. The rug is wool and handmade (if you saw the edges you would know).
I am perplexed by the human looking fugures, like they are holding something in unison. When I bought it, I was lead to believe it may have been from the Balkans area.
Thanks for all the people who provided useful clues.

Based on the connected figures in the red rectangle, I'd say it came from the looms of the Central Mexican Atari tribe.

Here's another example of their work:
