Velma Wauneka, Rug, Yei, Navajo, 17" x 24"

This hand woven Navajo rug by Velma Wauneka features a detailed Yei design with a procession of colorful figures arranged across a warm neutral field. Each Yei figure is individually rendered in shades of blue, green, brown, black, white, and burgundy, creating an engaging variety of color and intricate detail. A striking blue band with dark geometric forms stretches across the upper portion, while dramatic zigzag motifs frame the figures along the top and bottom. Deep brown borders provide a strong finish and beautifully complement the earthy palette throughout the weaving. This Velma Wauneka Yei rug is a distinctive example of Navajo textile artistry, combining detailed pictorial weaving, bold geometric elements, and exceptional visual character.
