Rug 1930

This Navajo (Diné) rug, woven in 1930, is a vibrant example of traditional Native American textile art. The rug depicts a central motif of a "Yei" figure, a supernatural being associated with healing and protection. The figure is flanked by geometric patterns and stylized representations of feathers and other natural elements. The rug's composition is symmetrical and balanced, demonstrating the skill and artistry of the anonymous Navajo weaver. This piece is a testament to the enduring legacy of Navajo weaving and the profound spiritual significance it holds within their culture.
