It was Spider Woman who preserved the Dine (Navajo) people from the evils that surrounded them when they emerged into the Third-World. For this reason she became one of their most cherished Gods. It was also Spider Women who taught the Dine to weave. Spider Women told the Dine ancestors of the first weaving loom constructed by her husband. He made the cross poles of sky and earth cords; the warp sticks of sun rays, lengthwise to cross the woof; the healds of rock crystal and sheet lightning, to maintain the condition of the fibers. For the batten he choose a sun halo to seal the joints, and a comb of white shell to clean the strands.

This beautiful large weaving is the work of the great Navajo weaver, Lily Nez Tsosie. Lily is a life-long weaver from the Bitter Springs area of the Navajo Nation. This rug measures 45X30 inches. She used her personal storm Pattern for this weaving. Lily has wove 7 natural colors into this rug. Lillie used natural spun wool and aniline dyes for this weaving. We have bought weaving from Lilly and her 2 sisters for years. I notice they usually weave a few feathers into their weavings and this one is no exception. If you would like to see more photos of this piece, contact me and I will email them to your address. I can furnish a warp/weft count for this weaving via email request. Lily is among the few traditional Navajo weavers left that still produce a limited number of weavings. You can be assured this weaving will increase in value in the years to come.

Navajo weavings make excellent investments. Experts claim good Navajo weavings increase in value 20% a year. Unlike Navajo reproduction weavings imported from other countries. This weaving is 100% authentic 100% handmade by a Native American person. This weaving was made in the USA. We offer a 30 day money back guarantee.
