The Rainbow Man Yei is a guarding spirit who represents life-sustaining rains for the agricultural Southwest.
In this charming pin, Rainbow Man is depicted in his traditional curved pose with his hands held high. Set in sterling silver, his “rainbow stones” range from turquoise, mother of pearl, onyx, and orange spiny oyster. The silhouette is framed with tiny sterling silver fluted drops and scrolled twist wire details.
Pin this one to your favorite denim jacket or even your bag for a pop of southwestern style.
History: Navajo Yeis control day, night, rain, wind, and sun. They are supernatural, grandparent spirits that intercede between humans and the Creator.
