About this weaving
This captivating Late Classic Serape from the 1880s honors Spiderwoman through its ingenious design, where negative space weaves together to form an intricate spider motif across the composition. The vibrant red ground beautifully frames the interplay of indigo blue, rich green, and cream tones, creating a dynamic visual rhythm that draws the eye throughout. Crafted from premium Merino wool with exceptional fineness of weave, this piece demonstrates the technical mastery and spiritual intention of its creator. A truly fascinating work of art that celebrates both the weaver's skill and the sacred stories woven into Navajo textile tradition.
This beautiful piece was featured in the Navajo Textiles as Modern Art exhibit held at Nizhoni Ranch Gallery March 11 - June 30 2017. You can find this weaving in the catalog Navajo Textiles As Modern Art on page 13.
