Navajo Bird Pictorial Runner Weaving

Navajo Bird Pictorial runner, with a tall cornstalk rising through a white field, multicolored birds perched along both sides, a serrated border design inside a blue outer border, and wool tassels at each corner. Often called the Tree of Life, the design centers on corn, one of the sacred plants of the Navajo, with the surrounding birds traditionally associated with the renewal of life. Handwoven by Navajo artist, Mary Ann Hosteenez.
