Vintage Navajo Yei Rug, Native American Made Blanket 4 Yei Figures 42" x 27". Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS First Class.
This rug came from an estate where we purchased many beautiful items from the daughter of a local doctor.
Her parents were avid collectors and well traveled.
It is affixed to a wooden frame for display. I think it’s possible to have it removed but this is not a guarantee and left up to the next owner to decide. Will ship as is.
In good vintage condition. Nice vibrant colors on a grey background.
*I need to measure this item but it’s at my store. Will update soon but it’s a decent size. Around 4 feet long.
