And she knew that I collected Navajo rugs.
So I went by there, looking through his-- all his stuff that he got out of this unit.
These dolls were in there, and I had no idea what they were.
I knew they weren't Hopi.
So I kept going back to look at em.
And I was there for a couple hours, and he said instead of paying me, he would give these to me for looking at all his stuff, and I said sure.
APPRAISER: That's a swell gift.
GUEST (chuckling): Yeah, it was.
APPRAISER: Um... these are folk art carvings, representing Yeibichai dancers, which are part of a nine-day healing ceremony held by the Navajo.
And they're made by Clitso Dedman, a Diné artist who was born in the late 1800s.
He died in 1953.
And looking at the style of these, I would say he carved them around 1950.
They're extraordinary pieces of Navajo folk art.
And he's very, very highly collected and held in high esteem.
If they were to go to an auction setting as a set of four, my expectation would be that they would sell for between $2,600 and $3,500.
GUEST: Nice.
