Their durability is wonderful. They never fade, no matter how frequently washed—an operation in which amole, the saponaceous root of the Palmilla, should be substituted for soap. As for wear, I have seen the latter blankets which have been used for rugs on the floors of populous Mexican houses for fifty years, which still retain their brilliant color, and show serious wear only at their broken edges.

It is seventy-three inches long by fifty-six inches wide and weighs six pounds. You can easily reckon that the thread in it cost something, at $6 a pound, and the weaving occupied a Navaho woman for many months. It is hardly thicker than an ordinary book cover, and is almost as firm. It is too thin and stiff to be an ideal bed-blanket, and it was never meant to be one. All blankets of that quality were made to be worn on the shoulders of chiefs; and most of them were ponchos—that is, they had a small slit left in the center for the wearer to put his head through, so that the blanket would hang upon him like a cape. Thus it was combined overcoat, water-proof, and adornment.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRainbow bars, crosses (stars) rivers or lightning zig-zags, are all very important in the life of the Navajo Indian.  These powerful symbols once told a story that is a mystery today. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blanket, possibly 150 years old, is a rare opportunity to own part of the Native American History. During the early pioneer days the Navajo would trade with other Indian Tribes and the Cavalry.  A single Navajo Blanket was sometimes traded for many horses or as much as $50 in gold.  A Navajo blanket was highly prized and valuable, as they were so tightly woven they could save a life, keeping the owner warm and dry in a rain or snowstorm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular weaving is expertly woven and as all Navajo Weavers incorporated art into life.  The combinations of color and design elements reveal a complex yet geometrically simple art statement.  Navajos were the pioneers of Modern Art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThis weaving was part of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"%20https:\/\/www.navajorug.com\/pages\/exhibit-woven-nation-2014\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNAVAJO NATION EXHIBIT,  \"Collection of Steve Getzwiller\" Exhibition at the Tubac Center for the Arts\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTubac Arizona 2014\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis weaving is part of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.navajorug.com\/pages\/art-history-woven-together-1999\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArt \u0026amp;

As for wear, I have seen the latter blankets which have been used for rugs on the floors of populous Mexican houses for fifty years, which still retain their brilliant color, and show serious wear only at their broken edges.

It is seventy-three inches long by fifty-six inches wide and weighs six pounds. You can easily reckon that the thread in it cost something, at $6 a pound, and the weaving occupied a Navaho woman for many months. It is hardly thicker than an ordinary book cover, and is almost as firm. It is too thin and stiff to be an ideal bed-blanket, and it was never meant to be one. All blankets of that quality were made to be worn on the shoulders of chiefs; and most of them were ponchos—that is, they had a small slit left in the center for the wearer to put his head through, so that the blanket would hang upon him like a cape. Thus it was combined overcoat, water-proof, and adornment.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRainbow bars, crosses (stars) rivers or lightning zig-zags, are all very important in the life of the Navajo Indian.  These powerful symbols once told a story that is a mystery today. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blanket, possibly 150 years old, is a rare opportunity to own part of the Native American History. During the early pioneer days the Navajo would trade with other Indian Tribes and the Cavalry.  A single Navajo Blanket was sometimes traded for many horses or as much as $50 in gold.  A Navajo blanket was highly prized and valuable, as they were so tightly woven they could save a life, keeping the owner warm and dry in a rain or snowstorm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular weaving is expertly woven and as all Navajo Weavers incorporated art into life.  The combinations of color and design elements reveal a complex yet geometrically simple art statement.  Navajos were the pioneers of Modern Art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThis weaving was part of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"%20https:\/\/www.navajorug.com\/pages\/exhibit-woven-nation-2014\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNAVAJO NATION EXHIBIT,  \"Collection of Steve Getzwiller\" Exhibition at the Tubac Center for the Arts\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTubac Arizona 2014\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis weaving is part of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.navajorug.com\/pages\/art-history-woven-together-1999\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArt \u0026amp; History Woven Together\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Getzwiller Collection of Antique Navajo Weavings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e'The Steve and Gail Getzwiller Historic Navajo Textile Exhibition at the Desert Caballeros Western Museum in Wickenburg Arizona'\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e1999\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 359px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px; width: 91px; text-align: left;\"\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px; width: 254px; text-align: left;\"\u003eWearables: Manta, Serape, Child\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px; width: 91px;\"\u003eWeaver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px; width: 254px;\"\u003eUnknown Navajo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px; width: 91px;\"\u003eDate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px; width: 254px;\"\u003ecirca 1870's\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px; width: 91px;\"\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px; width: 254px;\"\u003e54″ x 76″ (4'6\" x 6'4\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px; width: 91px;\"\u003eItem #\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px; width: 254px;\"\u003eGHT 778\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px; width: 345px; text-align: left;\" colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/navajorug-com.myshopify.com\/pages\/wearables\"\u003eLearn more about wearable weavings\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eContact us for more information, pricing or to order – \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"mailto:steve@navajorug.com\" target=\"_blank\"\u003esteve@navajorug.com\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e or 520-455-5020 -- We will be glad to help you!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
