I instantly raised my eyebrows when I saw that a 19th Century antique Navajo Navajo cloth was being sold in an auction. It sold for $1,800,000. "What?!" I thought to me - or perhaps I even said it aloud. "How is that possible? It was an ordinary blanket that was not as elegant or interesting as the most boring Moroccan shown in our gallery. It looked more like the plainly woven, similar-colored baby blanket that I used to insist on sleeping with for many years. I was not supposed to be this discerning. I'm not an expert on Native American history. I was curious enough to try it, and I read more about it before I pass judgment. It had incredible provenance and historical relevance, to my surprise!

This blanket, also known as a serape or a blanket, was made during the tribe’s 1865 internment in eastern New Mexico. The piece, which is woven in rich reds and has a bordered design, is as striking for its color as it is for its border. Red was a rare color, particularly for Native Americans. They used to tear apart machine-made rugs and re-weave the thread in their own designs. This design is rare and shows how the outside world is increasingly influencing Navajo culture and art. The blanket's four corners have partial borders. The popularity of bordered textiles was a result of the intricate designs on exotic Oriental rugs.
