A1519 - Shiprock Yei Rug

View Details This Navajo handwoven Yei rug is woven with natural and vegetally dyed wool. A "Yei" rug shows the dieties themselves, facing outward. A "Yei Be Chai" depicts masked dancers in impersonation of these dieties. Tradition holds that it is tabu to weave the eyes of the Yeis into the rug, so many Yei and Yei Be Chai rugs will have the eyes sewn in after the rug is woven. This Shiprock Yei is Ca:1960. This is a one of a kind item. 33" x 26"   SKU: A1519 Price: $250.00 Quantity 1  Add to cart
