About the Item

The woolen rug has a white background color on which are three stylized figures on each side of a center cornstalk, forming a striking and symbolic composition rooted in Navajo tradition, dating to circa 1940. 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.
