For your consideration is this Navajo female Yei or Yeaibichai wool rug. Yei is the Navajo name for a deity or a holy one. The Yei's are woven facing outward. They are usually depicted with long bodies and skirts and hold sacred plants or symbols. The rug is in good condition and shows four Yei figures symmetrically centered on the rug with a cornstalk pictorial dead center; all the figurines are decorated and colored in multiple colors of polychromal dye. The portrayal of Navajo ceremonial art in rugs is generally attributed to Hosteen Klah, a Navajo medicine man and weaver who was born in 1867 and died in 1937. The measurements of this rug are 61" x 29 1/2".
