Bonham’s Native American Art catalogue notes it was “Woven in a first phase Ute style pattern of rich indigo and brown panels overlaid on the striped ground, on a dark brown warp in handspun yarns.” It “probably dates to the first half of the nineteenth century.”  The size is approximately 4 x 5 ft 11 in.

It is estimated to sell at a low estimate of US $250,000 and a high estimate of $350,000. We’ll let you know the hammer price of the December 5, 2011 auction.
