1960s Navajo Yei Embroidery Wall Hanging 24x36 Mid Century Southwest Native Art

Authentic 1960s Navajo Yei embroidered wall hanging, measuring approximately 24 x 36. This vintage textile features multiple stylized Yei figures (Holy People) with ceremonial details, plant motifs, and flame symbols, bordered in traditional geometric patterns. The piece is hand-embroidered on a cotton backing, typical of mid-20th century Navajo craftwork made for the Southwest tourist and trading post market.

The wall hanging displays classic mid-century Southwest design, blending Navajo cultural symbolism with vibrant wool embroidery in red, yellow, blue, brown, pink, and black. The Yei motif, adapted from ceremonial sand paintings, represents blessings, fertility, and harmony.

Condition: Shows age-related wear with staining on the backing and front (see photos). Despite flaws, the piece retains strong decorative and collectible value as a genuine 1960s Navajo textile art example.
