Navajo weaving "Four-in-One Yei Sandpainting" woven with both aniline and vegetal dyed wool by award winning weaver Mary Long. “In addition to rugs with ye’ii (Holy People) figures, Mary Long also weaves elaborate sandpainting designs. A prizewinning weaver for decades, she comes from a talented family of weavers. Some of her materials are split from 4-ply commercial yarns; others are finely handspun from local sheep’s wool.” —Ann Hedlund. Mary Long lived from 1935-2000. Measures 48 by 44 inches.
We have been visiting and shopping at Toh-Atin for over twenty years. Always loved visiting with Jackson and his mother. We would spend hours gathering information on rugs, jewelry, and baskets- what a tremendous inventory. Everyone was so knowledgeable. We have so many memorable pieces. Jackson asked my husband, " How often do you get compliments on your tie?" We bought a very nice bolo! :)
We had just seen and visited with Jackson two weeks earlier and were so saddened and shocked to hear of his passing. What a loss to friends, family, and community. Our deepest condolences to his family and to the staff.
