Navajo Weaver Woman Loom Display Figural. Measures a little over 8" in height by 7" wide. Very good condition.
This exceptional Navajo weaver doll is a vibrant piece of Southwestern folk art, capturing the essential spirit of Indigenous craftsmanship. Standing just over eight inches tall and seven inches wide, the display features a seated female figure dressed in traditional mid-century attire, including a rich velvet-style bodice and a tiered, full-length skirt. She is positioned before a detailed upright loom, meticulously strung with warp threads and a partially completed miniature rug that showcases the complex geometric patterns characteristic of Navajo weaving traditions.
As a "theatrical curiosity," this figural display serves as a significant tribute to cultural heritage, making it a sophisticated addition to a library or a dedicated collection of Native American art. Its presence offers an academic perspective on traditional fiber arts and fits perfectly within a rustic or global-inspired interior. The piece is in very good vintage condition, with the textile elements and structural loom components remaining well-preserved. This is a soulful find for collectors of Indigenous folk art or those looking to add a touch of authentic, "found-history" craftsmanship to their home.
This item is vintage, approximately 45 years old.
