Antique Native American Sash Belt Dance Whirling Log Rare















Sash is white green and orange with whirling log and other geometric patterns. Very tightly hand woven about 28 x 15 stitches per inch. Approximately 56″ long x 1 1/16″. I cannot find any similar examples in my searches. I’m guessing it’s Dine(Navajo) because it has whirling logs. I know the whirling log was prevalent in Dine weavings during the first quarter of 20th century so I would date the sash to this timeframe. Though it may be earlier. If you have any information about this type of sash please reach out. Found at a local Albuquerque estate.
