Navajo woman painting.

Safekeeping by James Sayers
This painting features a c. 1880s Navajo woman wearing a traditional woven dress and holding a lamb painted by artists James Sayers.

This is a really regal depiction of a Dine' woman dressed in and ADORNED with turquoise. Her hairstyle is in a traditional Navajo woman's hairstyle, which is called Tsiiyaal, a hair bundle. She wears a Dine' woven rug dress and turquoise beads and earrings.

Good art!
