A classic Navajo weaving, circa 1920s, featuring a bold central band of serrated diamonds. This textile showcases the full spectrum of natural, undyed hand-spun fleece, with the cream-colored ground serving as a striking contrast to the geometric design executed in tones of natural gray, brown, and black. The intricate carding and spinning of the different wools result in a nuanced range of shades that lend depth and character to the piece. This textile is a fine example of early 20th-century Navajo weaving before the widespread use of aniline dyes, emphasizing the weaver's skill in using natural materials.
