Sand Painting

According to the Navajo religion, the Universe is a very delicately balanced thing. If this balance is upset, some disaster - usually an illness - will result. To restore the balance and harmony means performing one of many Navajo chants or ways. These complex ceremonies involve the use of herbs, prayers, songs, and sand paintings. The sandpainting is done in a careful and sacred manner, according to the ancient knowledge of the art. As the patient is seated at the top of the completed sandpainting the medicine man bends to reverently touch a portion of a figure in the sandpainting, then moves to touch the patient, transferring the medicine and power. As this is done, the sickness falls from the patient and harmony returns. Then, before the sun sets, the sandpainting is erased with a sacred feather and the patient rises to walk in beauty once again.

Zuni Bird Fetish Necklace

This is a vintage, one-of-a-kind treasure of wearable art, authentic and rare. With fine solid sterling silver beads and finishes.
