Vintage Yei Navajo Non Identical Pair Rug Human Hand woven Wool Tapestry

About the Item

Vintage Pair Yei Navajo Tapestries Tapestry Flat Woven Rug 8x6 8x5 234cm 176cm 226cm x 143cm "This is a pair of magnificent vintage Yei Navajo tapestries. This pair can be hung as a tapestry or a used as decorative rugs."-Antique Rug Collection Navajo Yei rugs were made at Lukachukai or in the Shiprock area or even Ganado. It is a fact that a Navajo Yei rug with many Yei figures and many colors will garner the highest value. While Yei rugs are technically woven for the floor, they were often placed on couches, or hung on the wall like paintings, few actually touched the ground. The Yei figure is a frequently used pattern in Navajo rugs. Male Yei figures are generally pictured with round heads, and female Yei figures with square heads. Modern Yei rugs are more often pictorial compositions, showing a row of front-facing stylized stick figures with a Rainbow Guardian which protects the figures on three sides, indicating the sand painting roots of this particular style. The Yei rug portrays ceremonies on a desire for healing, not only physical health, but also mental, spiritual, and even material well-being.
