Navajo, Pueblo, and other Southwestern Weavings

Body

This gallery features a selection from the museum's collection of Southwestern weavings. In many cases, the weavings here are minimally documented in museum records, and often the cultural affiliation is uncertain. We present the identifications here to the best of our ability, but additional information is welcomed from viewers and may be used to augment collections records.
