Early 20th Century Rain God figure "speaks no evil". These charming pottery figures were made by the Indians of the Tesuque Pueblo north of Santa Fe beginning in the 19th century as souvenirs for the tourists.The white slipped clay body was painted with water colors that have faded over the last 100 years, but we can see a variation of wheel of life on his chest, leaves on the pot in his lap. Sitting 6 1/4" tall he is in fine condition other than an ear injury a long time ago. It is amazing he has survived all this time! Buyer pays $15.00 for shipping and insurance.

A Navajo Indian rug ordered from plate 24 in the 1911 J.B. Moore catalog, an early mail order enterprise.A rug could be ordered by size and or fineness of weave. This one is 41" by 73" and has a more intricate border as well as top quality weaving. The fine condition suggests that this textile spent a lot of time in a trunk or closet during the war years, since it features the Wheel of Life in each corner. Very soft hand spun native wool in natural colors plus the aniline dyed red. This is a piece of Southwestern history! Buyer pays $25.00 for shipping and insurance. (Catalog not included.)
