Navajo Yei Rug, white background
White Yei depicting the Navajo deities.
Navajo Yei rugs and sandpainting rugs are inspired by actual Navajo sandpaintings performed during cultural ceremonies. It is important to note that these rugs do not duplicate entire sacred images; instead, they depict only certain elements the weaver chooses to share.
A Navajo Yei rug features stylized, abstract figures that face the viewer. These figures have long angular bodies and have short straight legs. Yei depictions such as these represent the actual Yei holy people themselves.
