This sterling & inlay Rainbow Man, size 7.
5, artist signed E.
A.
, is a sacred guardian spirit in Zuni Indian culture.
It is associated with the life-giving summer rains and the colors of the rainbow that appear after the summer’s rain.
The Rainbow Man is not a Kachina, but it is an important symbol of protection in Zuni traditions, culture, and society.
It is often seen on the Zuni’s war shields and is a symbol of the rainbow, which represents the life-sustaining rains for their agricultural importance in the arid American Southwest.
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 1920s to 1940s and became popular by the 1950s.
The Rainbow figure design is displayed in Zuni inlay rings, pendants, brooches, bracelets, and squash blossom necklaces.
These rings sell for "in the hundreds" on line, I just don't want to deal with eby anymore.
I am good about removing items when sold, so if you see it, I have it.
I am usually home.
I accept Pay Pal.
