Sandpainting Navajo Rugs for Sale

Sandpainting rugs are woven versions of the dry paintings made during Navajo healing ceremonies, with Holy People, sacred plants and rainbow guardian figures. Weaving them was controversial when it began in the early 1900s, and the designs are usually altered slightly from the ceremonial originals.

These are some of the most complex Navajo weavings made. This collection includes historic and contemporary sandpainting rugs.
