1960's Southwestern-Style Yeibichai-Figure Kilim Rug

About the Item

77771 Vintage Southwestern-Style Yeibichai-Figure Kilim Rug, 02'07 x 05'03. This compelling vintage handwoven wool kilim rug offers a rare glimpse into Native American-inspired design through the depiction of ceremonial figures reminiscent of those seen in Yeibichai-themed compositions. Against an abrashed ivory field, four stylized female dancers—rendered with grace and balance—stand adorned with symbolic regalia: eagle feathers held aloft, jacla necklaces, and ceremonial ruffs around their necks. Each figure radiates a sense of presence and spiritual resonance, evoking themes of harmony, protection, and sacred guardianship within Southwestern visual traditions. In Native American-inspired artistry, the number four holds deep symbolic value—representing the four sacred directions, four seasons, and four sacred mountains, each a cornerstone of cosmological balance. The female dancers are emblematic of nurturing and guiding forces, and the eagle feathers they bear signify strength, divine connection, and a link between earth and sky. This design draws from longstanding cultural themes, transforming the textile into a visual meditation on protection, fertility, and ceremonial wisdom. Framing the central figures is a rainbow-like motif that arcs along three sides of the field—interpreted by many collectors and scholars as a symbolic “rainbow guardian.” This motif offers a protective enclosure, representing a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms, ensuring balance and sanctity. The details—such as the figures’ attire and symmetrical posture—suggest a ceremonial significance rooted in ancestral traditions, expressed through geometry and color with quiet reverence. This Southwestern-style kilim serves as both an aesthetic statement and a reflection of cultural homage. Its composition and symbolism reflect the influence of traditional ceremony-inspired themes, transformed by the hands of an unknown but skilled weaver into a fiber work of art. Whether displayed on the wall or laid in a contemplative space, this kilim brings depth, warmth, and meaning to interiors. Ideal for rustic retreats, curated folk collections, or serene modern environments. Rendered in variegated shades of ivory, red, coffee, gray, tan, burnt orange, and gold with other accent colors. Abrash. Desirable age wear. Hand-woven wool. Made in America. Measures: 02'07 x 05'03. Date: 1960's. Mid-20th Century.
