Yei Navajo Style Rug
Flat Woven Blanket Tapestry
4' x 6' (3'10" x 5'11")
119cm x 170cm
Circa 1940
"The woolen rug has a white background
color on which are three stylized figures on
each side of a center cornstalk. All are
surrounded on three sides by a "guardian "figure - one side is the head and the body -
the other side are the legs. The rug is a
Navajo Yei rug. All the figures are holding
prayer sticks; there are feathers attached to
the elbows of the figures in a vertical line.
The colors of the rug are white, red,
maroon, blue, tan, brown, grey, orange, rust
and gold. The most common type of
Navajo Yei rug are those with a white
background color. Navajo Yei rugs were
made at Lukachukai or in the Shiprock area
or even Ganado. It is a fact that a Navajo Yei
rug with many Yei figures and many colors
will garner the highest value.
While Yei rugs are technically woven for the
floor, they were often placed on couches, or
hung on the wall like paintings, few actually
touched the ground. The Yei figure is a
frequently used pattern in Navajo rugs.
Male Yei figures are generally pictured with
round heads, and female Yei figures with
square heads.
Modern Yei rugs are more often pictorial
compositions, showing a row of front-facing
stylized stick figures with a Rainbow
Guardian which protects the figures on
three sides, indicating the sand painting
roots of this particular style.
The Yei rug portrays ceremonies on a desire
for healing, not only physical health, but
also mental, spiritual, and even material
well-being.
The "Holy People" on the rug
are believed to restore health."
