About the Item
This exceptional 19th-century Navajo (Diné) serape textile, dating to circa 1890, is a remarkable example of Transitional Period weaving—bridging traditional Native American artistry with the evolving aesthetic influences of the late 19th century. Handwoven from native handspun wool, this Southwest textile features a classic serape format and is richly decorated with intricate geometric motifs, including serrated diamonds and hourglass patterns.
The color palette is both bold and balanced: natural ivory fleece is paired with aniline-dyed red and black yarns, along with striking accents of blue and yellow. The result is a visually dynamic piece that reflects the refined skill and symbolic design language of Navajo weavers during this pivotal era.
