This special collection of
historic Navajo weavings was previously on display for over twenty years
at a leading Chicago banking institution. It was the centerpiece of
a much larger art collection at the bank. Each piece was carefully
mounted and displayed. Time however caused the exposed side of many
weavings to gently fade, resulting in a distinctive A/B side to many of
them. The A side is as vibrant as the day the weaving left the loom.
The B side has aged into soft pastels. We make a special note of
those weavings with the A/B side. The images below picture the A
side of each weaving. |
