About the Item
This wonderfully simple yet deeply beautiful vintage Navajo rug features the iconic Tree of Life design—a powerful symbol in Navajo culture representing growth, connection, and harmony between the earth and the spiritual world.
Set against a soft ivory background, the central tree motif rises from the land toward the heavens, its branches gracefully adorned with colorful birds, each one unique in hue and form. The design is framed by a striking turquoise inner border and a grounding brown outer border, creating a balanced and visually compelling composition.
Woven flat with hand-spun wool and a cotton foundation, this rug exemplifies the time-honored techniques of Navajo textile artistry. The weavers employ natural, plant-based dyes sourced from the land around their tribal communities, ensuring that each piece is both organic and deeply rooted in place.
More than a textile, this rug is a cultural statement—rich in symbolism and spirit. Its refined aesthetic and meaningful design make it an ideal choice for use as a wall tapestry or as a centerpiece in any thoughtfully curated space.
