Traders like JB Moore would be the first to introduce the art of the Navajo to collectors back east, but it was rugs (not silver) that first captured the imaginations collectors and decorators. Following Moore's suit, other traders would begin to market Navajo weaving, even influencing many of the well-known styles. Today styles are not defined by regions, but perfected by dedicated weavers from all parts of the Navajo Nations. We have put together a large collection of rugs on our online Trading Post and hope you take time to look through them all. Hopefully, you will find the perfect rug. You will find the colorful birds perched on the corn stalk in this Tree of Life weaving. The symbol of life rises out of a ceremonial basket that has eagle feathers placed at the base. Navajo weaver Nora Bitah surrounds the Tree of Life with a black border that brings your attention to the fascinating center design. This is a very nice weave and the size will allow you to place this handmade weaving in many different settings.
