Framed Navajo  “Yei” Sandpainting
This finely executed Navajo sandpainting features a Yei (Holy Figure) — a sacred being who serves as an intermediary between the Navajo people and the spiritual world. Yei figures are central to traditional healing ceremonies, representing balance, harmony, and the restoration of health.

Meticulously composed of natural colored sands on a tan ground, the piece showcases precise patterning, feather motifs, and geometric symmetry in earthy tones of black, white, turquoise, and rust. The artwork is accompanied by its original Certificate of Authenticity, confirming it was handmade by Native American artisans following traditional Navajo methods.

Presented in a beveled oak frame with double matting and no glass, allowing full appreciation of the texture and detail of the sand surface. A beautifully balanced composition that honors Navajo artistry and symbolism — ideal for collectors of Indigenous and Southwestern art.

Excellent condition overall, with no visible sand loss or damage. Frame and mats are clean and well preserved; certificate affixed to the reverse.
