About this weaving

This striking Bistie weaving showcases the full spectrum of traditional Navajo craftsmanship. Woven entirely from hand-carded, hand-spun, and hand-dyed native wool, the piece features beautifully executed curvilinear patterns and an iconic eagle tail design. The vibrant reds and yellows, achieved through aniline dyes, create dynamic visual movement across the textile. The tight, deliberate weaving demonstrates the weaver's mastery and commitment to creating a piece built to endure. A testament to authentic Navajo artistry and cultural heritage.
