Vintage Navajo Yei -bi-chei- Weaving (#9746)

Four classic Yei-bi-chei dancers surrounded by the Rainbow Man are featured in this classic weaving, representing the sacred Night Chant healing ceremony.

The Rainbow Man brings harmony, beauty and protection, and controls the rain, essential to survival.

The weaving is rare in that it has the words “COMPANY” and phone number on the border, obviously commissioned by a trader or business.
