About the Item

Certainly. Here is the revised version with **"Navajo"** changed to **"Navajo-style kilim"**, preserving the poetic and historical richness of the original text: --- 78503 Antique Eye Dazzler Navajo-Style Kilim Rug, 04'08 x 04'11. Woven beneath the boundless skies of the American Southwest, this antique Navajo-style Eye Dazzler kilim saddle blanket glows with the legacy of desert sunlight and sacred geometry. A masterwork of handspun wool and time-honed artistry, it speaks in the language of symmetry and color—a visual chant echoing across sandstone mesas and canyon winds. Its form is a meditation in movement, a layered diamond design radiating outward in perfect harmony, as if marking a path from the center of the earth to the spirit world. In its pulsating precision, it carries the enduring resonance of Diné cosmology and the balance between the cardinal directions. Rendered in earthy gold, sun-bleached ivory, gray, and pitch black, this Navajo-style kilim reveals a palette drawn from the land itself—dye tones that whisper of mineral earth, native plants, and sheep’s wool touched by sun. Each concentric lozenge is edged with sawtooth zigzags, mimicking lightning bolts or the jagged silhouette of distant ridges. The strong black outlines not only arrest the eye but ground the composition, creating a pulsating rhythm as the diamonds expand outward, like ripples from a thrown stone or the echo of hoofbeats on canyon trails. It is no wonder such patterns became known as “Eye Dazzlers”—they compel the gaze and hold it fast. Originally conceived as a saddle blanket, this textile was designed for both strength and grace. Its tight flat weave and double-sided durability reflect the utilitarian needs of a rider, yet its beauty asserts the weaver’s belief that art should permeate all aspects of life, even those marked by dust and distance. This piece dates to the 1920's transitional period, a time when artisans were reinvigorating traditional forms with personal innovation, while trading post influences expanded the visual lexicon and economic reach of their work. The use of undyed and naturally dyed wool further confirms its authenticity and period integrity. Today, this Eye Dazzler saddle blanket stands not only as a relic of equestrian tradition but as a radiant embodiment of Navajo-style philosophy and artistic prowess. It is a visual prayer—centered, balanced, and expansive—woven with reverence for the natural world and the sacred pathways of the People. To behold it is to see the universe organized in wool: a mandala for the mesa, a woven window into the enduring strength and vision of Navajo-style weavers. Rendered in variegated shades of tan, beige, black, and gray with other accent colors. Desirable Age Wear. Abrash. Handwoven wool. Made in America. Measures: 04'08 x 04'11. Date: 1920s to 1930s.
