Cir1930 Gorgeous Lukachukai Yei Churro Navajo Rug Native American Indian Blanket For Sale

---

Offered here is an uncommon circa ­­­1925-1935 Navaho weaving that measures 5 feet 6 inches long by 3 foot 5 inches wide or 66” x 41”. It is quite interesting that there are no clearly defined lower legs or moccasins / boots on the dancers in this weaving. Not sure what the sand colored bar represents as we have not seen this depiction in other Yei weavings. This piece is attributed to the Lukachukai 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 old long staple Churro and Churro cross sheep wool, both weft & warp. This is an outstanding old variegated brown field Yeii with 4 very nicely adorned and colorful lady Yeii impersonators, each in a different color dress. Each dancer has feathered dance rattle and staff at one hand and a feathered wand at the other hand. Full length across the legs of all of the dancers is a camel tan sand bar with 13 two colored arrow feathers hanging down. The weaver’s attention to detail in this weaving is one to take note of.

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, smooth weft count averaging 30 per inch and a warp count of 7 per inch. The selvage cords are all in excellent condition with 3” replaced on one side and the rest are all original. Warp selvages are 2-spiral cords and weft selvages are 2-spiral cords. The corners are all four tight, original and in excellent condition. One tassel is original and in very good condition and 3 have been restored to excellent condition. It is clean now & comes from a non-smoking home.There is a1/2" x 1/2" reweave on one side near a corner anda couple of places on each end where some broken warps were repaired. Both sides are even in pattern color and shown in photos above. Colors are terrific in this piece of old American Indian art and they are: hand carded & hand blended natural variegated chocolate brown, dark brown to black, brownish grey, ivory white & camel tan belly wool along with hand dyed aniline orange, yellow, rose pink, purple, raspberry red and cardinal red. Complete with lazy lines, this example of Native Americana is ready to display in your own hacienda or just tuck away in your private rug & blanket collection.
