For your consideration is this Navajo Yei Lukachukai area rug, circa 1950's. The Yei Navajo rugs began in the northwest corner of the reservation in the early part of the 20th century. They were developed by Will Evans, Trader and owner of the Shiprock Trading Company. Yei are religious deities taken from the Navajo Sand paintings, however these weavings do not have any religious significance. In these weavings, the male Yei have round heads and the female Yei have square heads. The Lukachukai area is west and south of the Lukachuka Mountains of Shiprock. The Yei and Yeibichai weavings of this area are usually of a larger size, less colorful, made with hand spun wool, and have backgrounds that are much darker than those in the Shiprock Yeis and Yeibichais. The rug is in good condition for its age. The measurements of this rug are 62" x 32".
