Native American, Southwest, New Mexico, Navajo., ca. 1933 - 1966 CE. A lovely muslin cloth print representing a Navajo sandpainting motif. The fine example features four thunderbirds surrounding a centrally placed quatrefoil decorated with Navajo symbols for corn, all in hues of russet, powder blue, marigold, tan, deep grey, and white on a beige-dyed fabric. Standing upright with legs and wings spread, each stylized figure presents a rectangular head, a lengthy neck, a minimalistic face, a slender body, a pentagonal tail, and long undulating of hook-like extensions at their feet. White striations extend from the central circle, forming the Navajo symbol for rain or prosperity and separating each of these avian figures. Each of these striations end with phytomorphic finials. Size: 33" W x 39" H (83.8 cm x 99.1 cm)
