Navajo Yei Rug (Weaving)
For sale is a 35 inch H x 37 inch W (89 cm x 94 cm) Navajo Yei
Rug. It was sold to us as a Navajo Yei rug, circa 1930 … that identification is written on the paper tag still
attached to the bottom right corner. Three female Yei (pronounced yay) Holy People are depicted on this tightly woven rug.
Tassles are found on all four corners. The 2 inch (5 cm) outside border of the rug is black, but does not show up very well
in the photos.
A local Portland, Oregon antique
appraiser performed an examination of the rug and verbally authenticated it as a genuine Navajo weaving. Based on the colors
used, however, he dated it to the 1950-1960 period. He said the colors on the rug were not being used for Navajo rugs in the
1930’s. So we are offering it as dated to the 1950-1960 era.
Price is $530 USD.
Shipping cost is $40 to North
America and $70 to Europe. Insurance is included in the shipping cost. We pack for protection
of the item. Please email or call if you wish to purchase this wonderful Native American piece.
