Marie Sheppard Navajo Raised Outline Rug — 49" x 27.5"
Crafted by Diné weaver Marie Sheppard, this Navajo textile offers a refined example of the celebrated Raised Outline technique—an approach that creates a dimensional, corded border around each motif. With 8 wefts per inch and 15 warps per inch, the weaving displays the deliberate structure, symmetry, and visual clarity characteristic of skilled contemporary Navajo craftsmanship. The stepped forms, radiating elements, and multicolor palette work together to create a rhythmic composition that invites the viewer to explore its details.
Beyond its technical merit, the rug reflects a living artistic tradition in which geometry, balance, and material skill converge. Sheppard’s work bridges heritage practice with a modern sensibility, making this piece not only beautiful but culturally resonant. Whether displayed as wall art or presented as a standout textile in a collection, it carries both artistry and narrative—an enchanting opportunity to acquire the work of a talented Navajo weaver.
