Zuni Rainbow Man Native American Stone Inlay Vtg Kachina Sterling Silver Ring

Rainbow Man is a yé’ii, or supernatural being, found in Navajo mythology, often as a symbol of harmony by signifying an attentiveness to Talking God, the grandfather yé’ii. The curved symbol of the yeii who controls the rainbow, often appears in jewelry, healing ceremonies, and sand paintings. The Rainbow Man was one of the first figures used in traditional Zuni mosaic inlay jewelry. Various Zuni Indian artists started creating mosaic inlay jewelry featuring the Rainbow Man in the 1920's to the 1940's and becoming popular by the 1950's. Marked: No Hallmark.
