Yei Navajo rugs - Shiprock Navajo rug
Navajo rugs, blankets and weavings

Shiprock Yei and Yeibichai Navajo rugs achieved regional style status during the 1940's. The Shiprock Yei Navajo rug customarily has a white or light colored background, and incorporates bright, bold hues; a dozen or more colors may be used. Yei are deity and the figures are tall and slender and bearing ceremonial embellishments. Their postures are upright, faces are outward, and expressions are stiff. More elaborate Yei Navajo rugs have a three-sided border, created by the elongated body of a rainbow goddess, extending down each side and across the bottom. Additional designs in the Yei Navajo rug may include intervening cornstalks or arrows.
