Colorful Yei are sacred corn plants, separated by squash blossoms and surrounded by the Rainbow Yei guardian. Each Yei is a stalk of corn of a different color, each have ears of corn with tassels. All are dancing with eagle feathers to bring rain. The finely spun native wool takes the aniline dyes brilliantly which glow against the natural deep brown-grey background. 72" wide by 50" tall, the weave is very fine for such a large textile. The edges are much straighter than show in the photo, the wind was blowing during the photo shoot. What is really neat is the old brass tag affixed to one corner. After much research we were not able to pin down which Trading Post, but it is still interesting. Buyer pays $25.00 for shipping and insurance. |
