About this weaving
Yei Navajo weaving for sale. With Rainbow Yeis & Hero Twins. All hand carded, hand spun, native wool, aniline red and green, some natural dyes and wool colors, over dyed black.
From the Chinle Area of the Navajo Reservation, Master Weaver Marie Shirley (Brown) has won many awards. Her weavings have been exhibited and published in the "Fine Art of Navajo Weaving" (under the name of Marie Brown). Well known for her versatility and ability to weave any style she put her mind to, she exhibited in a one woman show at the Heard Museum in the 1990s showcasing this talent and the Desert Caballeros Museum 2000-2001.
We are honored to have worked with Marie Shirley since the early 1970s. She was one of the most talented weavers Steve ever worked with. Sadly she is no longer with us. A true master weaver - one of the best.
