Katherine Tontson, Rug, Yei, Navajo, 30" x 20"

This Navajo Yei rug by Katherine Tontson features four distinctive Yei figures arranged across a warm neutral field. Each figure is individually detailed with colorful garments in shades of blue, turquoise, gray, brown, green, and gold, surrounded by repeating feather-like motifs. Deep red bands accented with bold geometric designs frame the central scene, while a black outer border gives the composition strong definition. The balanced arrangement, crisp imagery, and carefully woven details highlight the skill and character of the weaving. A beautiful example of Navajo textile artistry, this Katherine Tontson Yei rug combines traditional imagery with rich color and striking visual appeal.
