This nice clean Germantown Revival with the Spiderwoman crosses was woven by
Lorraine Tso of the Kinlichee area. It measures 37 by 52 inches. The background
pattern is generally referred to as a Moqui stripe, referring to the banded
pattern weaving woven by Hopi (Moqui) men at one time. 10 warp and 36 weft
threads per inch. $1350. |

These two rugs were both hand-woven of processed wool by Elouise Curley of Bird
Springs. They were brought in by her grandson Kee, whose silver jewelry we handle.
Mrs Curley is 90 years old, but still manages to create both traditional designs and
new surprises. The storm pattern (right) is priced at $450 and measures 26 by 48 inches with 8 warp and 36 weft threads per inch. The hard-to-describe rug that melds an contemporary and traditional elements while maintaining a Navajo aesthetic is $425. (left) 46 by 25 inches, 8 warp and 36 weft threads per inch. |

 This innovative design was created by Regina Bia. Entitled “Sacred Mountains,” it measures 35 x 46 inches and has 6 warp and 36 weft threads per inch. |
 A lovely textile by Mae Morgan, measuring 32 by 22 inches. Nine warp and 32 weft threads per inch. $450. Mae Morgan, who lives north of the Chaco Canyon area, has been weaving for most of her 80 years. She is one of the few remaining weavers who uses homespun wool. Occasionally she mixes it with the processed (pre-carded, cleaned and spun) wool that other weavers use. She also often uses vegetal dyes instead of aniline-dyed wool. |
