American Indian Navajo weavers are known for their beautiful, pictorial, basket weavings. Many illustrate themes and tell stories that preserve Navajo history. Barbara Duzan, an Arizona artist who has distinguished herself internationally with her one-of-a-kind, beaded animals, wanted to pay special tribute to this unique tribal tradition by beading a Pony that carried “Man Placing the Stars,” a Navajo creation myth, on one side of her Pony, and “Sun’s Journey through the Sky” on the other. Each design is rendered in the Navajo basket weaver’s style.
