City: Window Rock, AZ Quantity: 60,131,250 Printed By: Bureau of Engraving and Printing Printing Method: Lithographed and engraved Perforations: 11 Color: Multicolored This stamp is part of a block of four Folk Art commemoratives. The
illustrations are based on actual Navajo blankets – three of which are
housed in the Museum of the American Indian in New York City. The
stamps were issued to coincide with the annual Navajo Nation Fair held
at Window Rock, Arizona. Blanket weaving has been an important part of
Navajo culture for centuries. To early tribes, each blanket was
believed to possess spiritual characteristics and reflect the owner’s
identity.
