About the Item
78426 Vintage Southwestern style Kilim Yeibichai Rug, 01'06 x 01'10. Yeibichai Southwestern style kilims are intricately handwoven textiles that depict figures from the Yeibichai dance—a ceremonial practice rooted in Southwestern style mythology and healing rituals. These kilims feature dynamic and symbolic imagery of Yeibichai, or “Talking God,” figures dressed in traditional regalia. Each design carries a wealth of spiritual meaning, reflecting deeply held beliefs and ceremonial traditions within Southwestern Indigenous culture. Crafted with exceptional skill using time-honored techniques, Yeibichai-style kilims are made from wool and natural dyes, producing vibrant and enduring works of art. Highly valued by collectors and often displayed in museums and galleries, these pictorial kilims are celebrated for their individuality. Each variation in color, composition, and figure detailing reveals the unique vision of its weaver, making every piece a singular expression of cultural heritage and creative spirit. Contemporary Santa Fe style intertwines with Native American-inspired enchantment in this handwoven wool vintage Southwestern style kilim. The abrashed red field features three female Yeibichai figures, each rendered with square heads—an iconographic distinction that marks their ceremonial role within the spiritual lexicon. These figures stand in quiet symmetry, evoking harmony, reverence, and protection. Their presence within the vibrant field is framed by simplicity, allowing the figures themselves to speak with visual clarity and symbolic weight. This Southwestern style kilim is not merely a textile but a woven narrative—each thread a meditation on identity, legacy, and the sacred. Its timeless design allows it to integrate effortlessly into modern Southwest interiors while preserving its cultural soul. Whether used as a functional piece or displayed as artwork, this Yeibichai kilim offers warmth, storytelling, and a lived-in elegance, making it a treasured addition to any setting that values heritage, beauty, and meaning. Rendered in variegated shades of red, beige, black, orange, tan, and brown with other accent colors. Abrash. Handwoven wool. Made in America. Measures: 01'06 x 01'10. Date: 1960's. Mid-20th Century.
