Mary Nocki (American (Navajo), 20th/21st century). Native American Navajo Yei pictorial woven rug or blanket textile weaving, ca. 20th century, woven in natural dyes depicting the healing dance ceremony performed by the Navajo people. The donor or patient is shown paying the Medicine Man along the far right. Behind them is the Shaman, who stares out directly at the viewer. The other figures represent the Yei, or Holy People, who are believed to control natural elements such as rain, snow, wind, and sun, and have healing powers that will help the patient. Surrounding these figures is a unique charcoal grey geometric border. Keywords: Yei-Be-Chai, Yei Bicheii, Yeii, Diyin Dine'e. Provenance: Terry DeWald, Arizona; Private collection, Minnesota. Height: 37 1/4 in x width: 59 1/4 in.
