ITEM #	SIZE ft.& in.	DESCRIPTION, APPROX. AGE	PRICE US$	PHOTO
#12849	2.9x4.10	Navaho rug, hand woven wool, SW United States, mid 20thC, red, black, charcoal, and ivory, near mint condition, larger photos	$595.00
#6908	33"x62"	Navajo rug, hand woven wool, SW United States, ca.1900, early experimentation in rug weaving, using an earlier banded blanket design, the wefts are thicker and heavier which is more appropriate for use on the floor, the wider central band bisects the rug, drawing the eye to the center of the weaving, but the design is not symmetrical, the serrate corners at the bottom are enclosed in a panel, and the corners at the top are left open to the white space, creating movement drawing the eye up and out, red, tan, black-brown on  ivory, very good condition, larger photos	$1200.00
#2292	27 1/2" x 56 1/2"	Navajo Child's Blanket? (Serape), hand woven hand spun wool, SW United States, ca. 1900, this one has an hour glass constriction 13 inches from the top, I see it in some of these kinds of blankets, this constriction is created by using a limited amount of wedge weave, it folds over nicely at this juncture, and I wonder if this was done because the blanket was intended to be worn in cape fashion, there is a spirit line in one corner, near mint condition, larger photos	POR
#2953	21"x22"	Small Navajo rug, single horse blanket, hand woven wool, SW United States, ca. early 20thC, finely woven in off white, gray, russet brown, and light yellow, the weaver has woven a spirit trail into the bottom corner, very good condition, larger photos	$350.00
#8955	19"x20"	A small Navajo rug, hand woven wool, SW United States, early 20thC,  brown-black and soft red on ivory, a great size for a table runner, and this is probably why it has survived in near mint condition, larger photo	$350.00
#6901	17"x36"	Navajo horse blanket, hand woven wool, SW United States, 1st Qtr 20thC, three orange diamonds and corn stalks, outlined in black with a periwinkle tint, and a nice faded golden tan that once had a slight lavender tint, a little finer than some with 28 wefts per inch, generally very good condition with minor signs of use, larger photos	$295.00
#10903	38"x75"	Antique Chimayo rug, hand woven of fine 4 ply Germantown yarns, SW United States, early 20thC, a top of the line example of Spanish American weaving, there was a brisk cottage industry of blanket weaving in Northern New Mexico in the early 20thC, farmers who had looms in their homes, wove mainly in the winter months, sometimes the whole family would be involved in this home industry, the blankets would be sold to traders such as J. S. Candelario in the Spring, general good condition, red, black, and ivory, larger photo	$985.00

#5997	4"x5"	Strike-a-light pouch, Central Plains Indians, North America, reservation period, rows of seed beads in lazy stitch on recycled leather, metal cone shaped "tinklers", brass beads, Although examples on recycled leather appear in the 19thC, this bag is certainly later, the leather has a wonderful patina, since it is older than the pouch itself, and makes for a beautiful object, originally used to carry flint and striker, then later to carry matches or ration coupons, near mint condition, larger photos	$850.00
#5996	11"x4"	Plains beaded umbilical fetish in the shape of a lizard, polychrome glass seed beads on hide, North America, reservation period, possibly Sioux, this type of "child's toy" could be used by grandmothers to instill older values and beliefs while not raising suspicion from the local Sunday school teacher, part of the child's umbilical cord would have been inserted in older times, lizards and salamanders were presented to boys at birth as a talisman, and of course for fertility given the phallic shape, there is a sewn up slit in the belly, but we have not looked to see if anyone's belly button is in it	$450.00
