This grey Wide Ruins pattern rug was woven by Glorilene Harrison.   It measures 34 by 49 inches. $1100.

This interesting landscape was done by Tabitha Bitah.   We have a photo of her and her young son, holding the finished textile.   26.5 by 29 inches.   $1100.

Lucy Simpson wove this classic Two Grey Hill pattern. 33 by 48 inches, very reasonably priced at $1275.

Through the 1800s, the traditional Navajo woman's dress was two finely-woven blankets sewn together at the top and fastened with a woven belt.   This one is recent and was woven by Mary Nez.   Each half measure 22 by 44 inches.   $1275.
