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.
