Exceptional, authentic contemporary Navajo regional textile hand-woven by artist Claralene Yazzie. This piece features a masterfully executed, high-contrast interpretation of the traditional Southwestern Storm Pattern. The design showcases a prominent central medallion connected geometrically to intricate corner blocks, beautifully framed by rows of stylized arrows and a crisp dual-border. The weave is executed in a striking palette of natural hand-carded heather grey, creamy ivory, deep black, and rich burgundy wool accents.
Crucially, this textile retains its original yellow Crownpoint Rug Weavers Association tag (No. 1264), documenting the weaver's name (Claralene Yazzie) and her region of Whippoorwill. Pieces with intact, verified association tags are highly sought after by Native American art collectors due to their ironclad provenance.
The craftsmanship is superb, featuring straight selvage lines, perfect tension, and clean corner tassels. It is a pristine investment-grade textile perfect for display as a wall hanging, accent rug, or floor centerpiece.
