6" x 6"


Complete with its original box and period description sheet.
A Chimayo purse clearly made for sale as a souvenir—
and you can feel that moment in time very strongly.

Woven carefully, meant to travel, meant to be chosen and taken home.
The calm, restrained color palette feels surprisingly modern even now.

Not just an object, but a small record of how Navajo weaving entered everyday life—
quietly, politely, and with intention.
