1930's Navajo Duality Symbol Rug (#54)
$800.00
Navajo Rug 48" x 37"
There is something warm, fuzzy and wonderful about an old, hand-woven, Navajo rug. To know that some hard-working individual sheared the sheep, cleaned, carded and spun the wool is amazing because the job is so labor intensive. This particular textile has some age on it. It was woven sometime in the 1930's and then put away. There is absolutely no wear on this rug. It’s in pristine condition. Duality crosses pertain directly to the basis of Navajo culture, which are Hozho, harmony and balance. Nothing could be more closely associated to Navajo tradition than this piece of art.

Symbolism
The hoop ceremonies of the Navajo have been compared by anthropologists to mandalas, Paleolithic sunwheels, or "magic circles." Spruce, willow, and other hoops represent the four passages of man through the four elemental worlds. They are also symbolic of the four directions, the four sacred mountains, the four-cornered construct of the human family mother, father, son, daughter and the four stages of human life?
