*Yei is the Navajo name for a deity or holy one. Yei spirits are believed to have healing powers and control the earthly elements: rain, snow, and sun. Many traditional Navajo consider weaving images of Yeis on rugs taboo, which is why the vast majority of these Yei rugs are not attributable to Navajo weavers. That said, I do have reason to believe that this might in fact be a Navajo rug. If it was to be authenticated as a Navajo rug, it would almost certainly be worth $2500. Regardless, it's clearly made by an expert weaver.
