About the Item
77871 Antique Southwestern style Kilim Yeibichai Rug, 02'01 x 02'10. This captivating antique Yeibichai Southwestern style kilim brings to life a traditional scene inspired by the sacred Navajo ceremonial dances, where deities, known as Holy People, are invoked for healing and blessing. Handwoven from wool, this kilim’s design centers around a line of Yeibichai figures, the supernatural beings of the Southwestern style pantheon, depicted with arms raised in rhythmic symmetry. The use of earthy tones—rich browns, warm creams, and deep blacks—paired with accents of red, create a visually striking contrast, symbolizing both the natural world and the spiritual realm. Each Yeibichai figure is meticulously crafted, wearing ceremonial attire that reflects traditional Southwestern style clothing, with detailed features such as headbands and symbolic embellishments. The figures stand within a bordered scene, flanked by feather-like shapes and elongated forms that represent the ritualistic tools used in ceremonial dances. These elements, especially the red and black staff-like motifs beside the figures, could signify the sacred staffs or wands used in the Yeibichai ceremony, essential tools in connecting with the divine and invoking blessings. In Southwestern style tradition, the Yeibichai kilim holds a deep spiritual significance, as these deities are believed to bring healing, balance, and protection. The figures in this Southwestern style kilim, with their faces turned outward, represent the benevolent spirits who communicate with the human world during ceremonies. Their raised arms could be interpreted as a gesture of blessing, extending protection to all who come into contact with the kilim. The two larger side figures, one holding what appears to be a bundle of feathers, could represent specific higher deities or leaders in the ceremonial dance, enhancing the kilim’s spiritual significance. This Southwestern style kilim is not only a beautiful work of art but also a woven narrative of the Southwestern style connection to heritage, faith, and the land. With each motif symbolizing aspects of spirituality, this piece serves as a guardian of tradition, carrying the essence of ancient rituals into the modern world. Perfect for both collectors and admirers of Southwestern style culture, this Yeibichai kilim embodies the beauty, mystery, and enduring power of Southwestern style craftsmanship and spiritual beliefs. Placing this kilim in any space infuses it with an aura of reverence, respect, and a reminder of the timeless bond between humans and the divine. Rendered in variegated shades of gray, beige, taupe, black, red, and brown with other accent colors. Abrash. Desirable age wear. Hand-woven wool. Made in America. Measures: 02'01 x 02'10. Date: 1930's. Early 20th Century.
