Navajo Coiled Plaque with Star Pattern

This small coiled plaque features a distinctive eight-pointed star design, woven using yarn in traditional Navajo colors of red, black, and natural white. Crafted in the contemporary period, the plaque uses coiling techniques and wool yarn instead of plant fiber, showcasing the adaptation of Native basketry to modern materials. The central star and surrounding motifs may evoke protection or celestial symbolism found in many Southwestern Native traditions.
