DALLAS — Of the 320 lots offered June 4 in Heritage Auction’s Ethnographic Art: American Indian, Pre-Columbian and Tribal Signature Auction, a late classic Navajo man’s wearing blanket in the second phase chief’s pattern earned the top spot, selling for $87,500. It was made of native handspun wool and dyed with indigo and cochineal. A dye test, indicating that the red dye was cochineal, was included with the lot. The blanket was collected by the current owner’s great uncle, a Southwest miner named Robert Stewart Davis (1977-1923). A more detailed review covering other notable lots from this sale will be featured in an upcoming issue.
