Navajo Pictorial rugs have been picture weavings of almost anything in view. The pictorials could be a jet airplane, meteors, helicopters, domestic and wild animals, and rodeo ropers. In the Charles G. Mull collection, a pictorial dated between 1880-1890 shows two hogans, one horse, and thirteen letters of the alphabet. In the southwestern textile collection of the Museum of Man in San Diego, there is a priceless pictorial rug which resides there. The pictorial rug shows a representation of a Santa Fe train, with smoke coming out of the billows. The caboose brings up the rear, birds soar above, and the tracks lie below. Another popular Navajo Pictorial is the green cornstalk bearing birds perched upon the cornstalk. The cornstalk might be growing out of a tradtional Navajo Wedding basket. This Navajo rug is called a Tree of Life.
