Lucy Nakai, Rug, Yei, Navajo, 40" x 46"
Description
This striking Yei rug by Lucy Nakai showcases Navajo weaving with a bold procession of finely detailed Yei figures across a soft gray field. The repeated figures feature vivid accents of blue, green, red, yellow, black, and white, creating a rhythmic and visually engaging composition. A distinctive larger figure at one side adds variation and character to the orderly arrangement. Angular red motifs along the upper and lower sections complement the figurative design, while a strong black border frames the entire weaving. Rich in color, detail, and traditional inspiration, this Lucy Nakai rug is an impressive example of Navajo Yei textile artistry.
