The Navajo are well-known for their many crafts including weaving of blankets
and rugs, silversmithing, basketry and sandpainting.
Authentic Navajo art or handcraft consists of handmade items produced by a
Native American craftsperson, using high-quality, natural materials that are not
machine stamped.
The Navajo people are regarded as being the pioneers of Native American art.
They are particularly renowned for their rugs and unique silversmithing
techniques. They were also pioneers when it came to basketry and are
recognized the world over for their basket weaving skills.
