Importantly, all American Indian Art is guaranteed authentic and you receive a certificate of authenticity and warranty toward defects. As handcrafted art, each piece is unique. The Trading Post has on display for purchase outstanding jewelry, pottery, baskets and Navajo rugs.
The Trading Post Navajo Rug selection is one of the largest rug collections within 250 miles, bought directly from the weavers who made them. You will be able to find the perfect one-of-a-kind rug woven by hand using traditional Navajo techniques that will be cherished for generations. You may want to select a rug using natural dyes made with yarn that was spun by hand or you may want to locate a more modern variation using complex designs and vibrant colors. Whatever your choice look for a line, in the corner of any rug with a border, that pays tribute to Spider Woman, the deity that taught the Navajo to weave. The Navajo rug you choose will bring warmth to your home as the power of Spider Women exists in every Navajo rug. As you look at the complex designs within the rugs, realize the weaver never measured or drew out the pattern, but only visualized the design before she began. And each rug is so complex, and so consuming of the weaver, the spirit line is put in the rug to pay tribute to Spider Women as well as let the spirit of the weaver escape so that she can go on to create the next beautiful creation.
Authentic handmade jewelry is made by Navajo, Zuni, and Hopi artisans. Silversmithing was learned from the Spanish in the 1800’s and blossomed into unique designs like the Navajo squash blossom necklace, Hopi silver overlay bracelets and Zuni pettipoint inlay work. Handmade Indian jewelry continues to be highly valued for its distinctive design and beauty.
Your visit to Monument Valley will be remembered for generations through your collection of Navajo rugs and jewelry you find at The View Trading Post.
