Lester James, Pendant, Yei' be Chei', Turquoise, Coral, Navajo Handmade, 4 3/4"
The Yei' be Chei' is a gateway during the healing ceremonies from this world to the next. Navajo artist Lester James captured the traditional look of the Yei' be Chei' in this tufa carved pendant. The figure is complete with full headdress, moccasins, juniper neck wrap and rattle. What immediately brings your intention to the unique carving is the stunning inlay work that includes cuts of turquoise and coral that is used to highlight the piece. It is an interesting collection of American rocks that show both green and blue colors. The stones pop against the traditional Navajo character. Lester has completed his piece with a large bale that will accommodate a number of necklaces.
