The Tree of Life style of Navajo weaving originated around
the Cedar Ridge area in the northern part of the Navajo
Nation. Usually this style portrays a cornstalk or
tree growing from a basket. Brilliantly colored birds
perch on and around the Tree of Life.
The
background is usually a pale color with a dark, plain border
which sets off the bright, aniline hues used to depict the
birds. Some of the birds are recognizeable species
such as Cardinals, Jays, or Woodpeckers. They may
be flying, perched, or even settled around the basket at
the bottom. Butterflies, rabbits and squirrels, bright
flowers and vines are also often woven into the design of
this weaving style.
