Antique Navajo Rug Yei Navajo Rare Human Geometric Handmade Wool Ivory, 1940
Located in New York, NY
Navajo rug flat woven rug tapestry beige
Measures: 4' x6' (3'11" x 5'7")
119cm x 170cm
Circa 1920
"The woolen rug has a white background color on which are three stylized figures on each side of a center cornstalk. All are surrounded on three sides by a "guardian "figure - one side is the head and the body - the other side are the legs. The rug is a Navajo Yei rug. All the figures are holding prayer sticks; there are feathers attached to the elbows of the figures in a vertical line. The colors of the rug are white, red, maroon, blue, tan, brown, grey, orange, rust and gold. The most common type of Navajo Yei rug are those with a white background color. 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.

Navajo rugs made from the Crystal area are known for their soft, beautiful, muted earth tones achieved by vegetal dyes. Some colors you can expect from these natural rugs are tan, grey, white, brown, orange, red and yellow. Geometric patterns are usually the focus of these Crystal rugs which are handwoven. The rugs come in a variety of sizes from under four feet to over seven feet long. Though inspired by J.B. Moore more than 100 years ago, by the 1940's, the Crystal style changed with the times. Original J.B. Moore era Crystal Navajo rugs...
