1920 Great Unusual Old Yei Navajo Rug Native American Indian Blanket Churro Wool For Sale

---

Offered here is a circa ­­­1920 old Yeii Navaho weaving that measures 5 feet 5 inches long by 3 foot 3 inches wide or 65” x 39”. It is attributed to the Lukachukai – Upper Greasewood weaving area and is in excellent condition. It was handwoven by an expert weaver on a primitive upright loom of all Native handshorn, handcarded and beautifully handspun long staple Churro and Churro cross sheep wool, both weft & warp. Here is a very unique Yeii weaving. The three center lady impersonators appear to be wearing full length robes of some sort that fall clear to the ground covering their feet as well. The design on their clothing is unusual as well for a Yei weaving. The border is particularly nice being a reciprocal dangling triangle motif all around. It is the only one like this (with the long robes) we have seen.

We obtained this vintage Native American textile out of one of two big collections from Arizona just to offer you here on . It has a fine weft count averaging 32 per inch and a warp count of 7 per inch. The selvage cords are all original and in excellent condition except for 3” repaired at one end (which is now excellent as well). Warp selvages are 2-spiral cords and weft selvages are 2-spiral cords. The corners are all four tight, original and in excellent condition. The tassels are all four original and in very good to excellent condition. It is pretty clean now & comes from a non-smoking home. There are a few small spots of light red and orange color bleed. Both sides are even in pattern color and shown in photos above. Colors are great in this piece of old American Indian art and they are: hand carded & hand blended natural grayish brown, dark brown to black, brown & ivory white along with hand dyed aniline over-dyed black, deep royal blue, transitional orange, old gold green and a light rosy pink. Complete with lazy lines and a Spirit Trail or weaver’s pathway, this example of ­great Native Americana is ready to display in your own hacienda or just tuck away in your private rug & blanket collection.
