Navajo Rug, 6'10  x 4'9
Navajo Rug
6'10" x 4'9". Single figure Yei weavings. This style of large, single Yei's were woven along the Santa Fe Railroad between Gallup, NM and Flagstaff, AZ in the early part of the 20th century. The Navajo weavers were very reluctant to put Navajo Deities in their weavings so they put Hopi masks and skirts on these figures. Woven from all Native, silky-smooth, long-staple and special-cleaned Churro sheep wool on a wool warp. Circa 1915.
$8,000-10,000
