Item History & Price
This is a beautiful vintage multicolor Navajo handwoven Yei pictorial rug or wall hanging by Ida Yazzie. Size approximately 30" x 42". It has practically every color on the spectrum, deep jewel colors, superb detail! A stunning rug in excellent condition, ready to hang. These rugs have been stored by the collector in airtight containers, and there is no evidence of mold, bugs, etc. You decide whether to clean it.
I am selling this and other rugs for a long-time collector.... He is not trying to make a profit from these. He is a wonderful older gentleman who wants his treasured collection to be loved by someone who appreciates their value as artwork. As he says, "I care about them!" None of his family wants (or needs) the collection, since they have so many rugs already due to his penchant for gifting them! He has been collecting since he was 16, growing up in South Dakota. As an adult, he used to drive around to the different reservation villages, ask around who did what, stop by the artists' homes or trading posts, and buy their creations, or he attended auctions.
Please ask any questions. If I cannot answer them, I will ask him and get back to you.
