Various Sizes - Matted Prints
Wearing the traditional velvet blouse and crinkle skirt of the Navajo nation since their imprisonment at Bosque Redondo, this beautiful young Navajo lady stands in front of one of the most magnificent art forms of the Navajo people, the Two Grey Hills woven tapestry.
The story behind Two Grey Hills begins in the Chuska Mountains of Northwestern New Mexico, part of the reclusive Navajo nation where this exquisite art form was born.
A timeless tradition spanning almost 100 years, Two Grey Hills weavings have long been a source of pride and quality craftsmanship using natural, un-dyed wool in shades of grey, black, white, and brown, often with intricate, symmetric, geometric designs, unique to the Navajo. Two Grey Hills rugs are often called tapestries due to their exceptionally high weft count, making them far finer, thinner, and more tightly woven than typical Navajo rugs. Each of these hand-woven creations is a testament to the dedication and skill of the Navajo weavers.
