Alex Lee “Trail of Tears” Navajo Sandpainting – 14.5" Signed Plaque
This round Navajo sandpainting plaque, titled “Trail of Tears” and signed verso by Navajo artist Alex Lee, features a striking winter migration scene rendered in natural colored sands. Three cloaked figures move through a grove of bare trees, their patterned blankets providing vibrant visual contrast against the warm sienna background and snowy foreground. A carved and sand-textured circular border frames the composition, enhancing its depth and traditional Southwestern appeal. Alex Lee is known within the commercial Navajo sandpainting tradition for narrative works that blend contemporary themes with established Diné sand art techniques.
Condition
In good condition with no noted damage. The sand surface and coloration remain intact, and the border shows only light wear consistent with careful display.
