-=- Moenkopi Vest -=-
100% wool, naturally hand-dyed yarn. This design was taken from rock art in the vicinity
of Holbrook and Winslow, Arizona. The Little Colorado River was the home to the Hopi
people before their move north to the Mesas. During Pueblo III and IV times, considerable
rock art was placed on Moenkopi and Sonsela sandstone outcrops. In addition to
Corn, there is a bas-relief image of a large Dog which came from a pictograph
in San Rafael Swell, Utah from close to 2,000 years ago.
