Navajo, Southwest
1980s
Handwoven wool Height 94 inches (238.8 cm); width 63½ inches (161.3 cm)
Provenance: Private collection, Albuquerque, New Mexico
The Storm Pattern is a regional weaving type associated with the western Navajo reservation, characterized by a central rectangular field connected by lightning bolts to corner elements, with subsidiary figures occupying the intermediate spaces. The design is among the more codified regional conventions in Navajo weaving and has been produced continuously since the early 20th century. This example follows the established compositional format of the type.
The scale of this piece, nearly eight feet in length, reflects the continued production of large-format Navajo weavings for the collector and decorator market in the later 20th century. The handwoven construction and density of patterning are consistent with the technical standards maintained within the Storm Pattern tradition.
