1890s Transitional
Tribe: Navajo (Diné)
Item #WA01022
Handwoven in the 1890s, this Navajo Transitional weaving is woven from hand-carded and hand-spun wool with vibrant aniline dyes. Bold serrated diamond motifs in shades of red, orange, cream, gray, and black create a striking geometric composition characteristic of the Transitional period. In great condition with only slight fading, this weaving is an excellent example of late 19th-century Navajo textile artistry.
