that's why American Indian and mesoamerican cultures are frequently tapped for inspiration in modern art.

It really is incredible. The indigo and red colors, wow.

Very cool mark will you be ordering it from the Met?

I believe I have a Navajo Yei wool rug. What are the indicators of a fake”? It was in my mom’s old house. Which was built in the 1800. I’ve always felt drawn to it but until recently was unsure of the significance or meaning behind it. I just started doing some research. Would love any help!
