What is Yei ?
Yei is a shortened version of YeiBeiChei, a holy figure in the Navajo culture.
The yei figure symbolizes healing powers.
It can be depicted standing upright, curved or angled in a three-sided square. There are male and female yei figures. Some have square heads and others round.
Appearing as Petroglyphs (Rock Art) in North America, Yei figures are often use in healing sand paintings and woven into rugs.
Yei figures fashioned into jewelry are less common so these treasures are not to be passed up.
