STORM PATTERN RUG BY SASHA YAZZIE (NAVAJO)
The Storm pattern textile is recognized by its design, not by the colors used to weave it, and is the only design that represents a natural event. A typical Storm pattern rug has a block in the center representing the center of the universe. The four blocks in the corners represent the four winds, or the four sacred mountains of the Navajo, and are connected by zigzag elements which represent lightning. Other elements are frequently included and consist of stylized designs such as cloud forms, water beetles, arrows, feathers, and abstract geometric designs.
Measurements: 24 1/2" x 20"
