Zuni artist Harlan Coonsis always makes an exceptional piece of mosaic inlay jewelry. Harlan is considered one of the finest of the handful of Zuni lapidary artist making jewelry in this art filled Pueblo. What makes this piece stand out may not be the perfect inlaid turquoise stones that make up the Rainbow Man, but the use of color. Most times when we see this piece from Harlan the Rainbow Man is set against shiny sterling silver. Using the black jet as the background brings out the richness and design of the piece wonderfully. It has been made to be worn as a pendant and will look right at home on leather or with a silver chain. You will spend hours admiring this magnificent piece of museum worthy handmade Zuni art.
