Vintage Navajo Sand Art Painted - Signed by Artist
$46.00
Add a striking piece of Southwestern heritage to your collection with this authentic Navajo (Diné) sand painting. Entirely handmade, this captivating artwork features a beautifully detailed depiction of the iconic "End of the Trail" motif—a powerful homage to James Earle Fraser’s historic 1894 sculpture of an exhausted warrior on horseback.
The central diamond composition is framed by traditional, stylized Navajo lightning and feather symbols, all meticulously rendered using finely ground stones, sandstone, and natural mineral pigments. The back features the artist's handwritten title and signature, "End of the Trail" / Tyler, along with an original studio inventory control number (16024) verifying its authentic gallery origin.
