Title A name given to the resource 80_5_11.jpg Description An account of the resource Dates: 1960-1970 Size: 174 x 105 cm; 9 warps(comma) 38 wefts Description: Although Ye'ii are sometimes found in rug designs prior to the 20th century(comma) the earliest known weaver to incorporate the figures into her weaving was Yanapah who was married to a trader based near Farmington(comma) New Mexico. Also in the early 20th century Will Evans(comma) the owner of Shiprock Trading Company(comma) promoted the Ye'ii design. The Ye'ii design is one of the most popular Navajo styles on the modern market. Ye'ii are religious deities based on traditional Navajo Sand paintings(comma) but lack the religious significance of the sand paintings. Some Ye'ii weavings add in the additional element of an elongated figure that wraps around three sides of the image. This figure is the rainbow guardian. Such rugs also typically incorporate corn stalks(comma) snakes(comma) rattles(comma) and pine boughs or yucca designs. This white Ye'ii rug was made by Louise Dale Frazier.
