Navajo Sandpainting
Like weaving, Navajo sandpainting is ranked among the Navajo tribe's best known and best loved art forms. Navajo sandpainting was traditionally performed for religious or medicinal purposes rather than aesthetic ones; it is a sacred rather than a secular practice. Sandpainting has much in common with art forms like Navajo rugs, jewelry, and basketry.
