This c.1930-1940 Navajo YEI pictorial weaving was woven in the Teec Nos Pos area of the Navajo Nation, with an unusual depiction of a stylized female YEI with interesting and unique design elements.  The weaver's skill is reflected in the tightly-spun and tightly-woven weaving and attention to detail in the design elements.  Although the weaving shows its age with wear and fade, it makes unique, delightful, fascinating wall art.

DIMENSIONS:  approximating 40 x 47”
CONDITION:  generally faded designs and colors –essentially equal fade on both sides.  Professionally cleaned & blocked; modest professional repairs to broken selvedge; in a few places, synthetic black over-dye is apparent.  NO moth damage; NO toxic moth treatments; NO odors of tobacco, chemicals, fragrance; NO mold.   We are: non-smokers; we do NOT use chemical moth repellants.

Note that the color variations in the grey center field are due to variations in natural grey sheep wool.  Variations in the black border color is due to (1) variations in natural black sheep wool color, & (2) some areas of synthetic black over-dye of natural black wool [see photos].
We love and admire this old Navajo weaving for its rare and unique design, its charm, beauty and unique artistic vision & creativity--it 'moves' us spiritually, aesthetically and emotionally.  Antique Navajo weavings like this provide a ‘window’ into Diné history and culture.  And we are awed in knowing their creation requires hundreds & even thousands of hours of dedicated hand labor using knowledge and skills inherited from Diné ancestors.
