c1930 Yei (pronounced "yay") is Navajo for the benevolent supernatural spirit beings who bring their healing powers to medicinal ceremonies. The "Yei-be-chai" is the name of the masked human dancer participating in the ceremony impersonating the Yei. Some of the weavers involved in this style include Margie Harvey, Daisy Nakai, MArilyn Paytiamo, Ruby White, and Elouise Bia. This nicely made piece measures almost 10"x10", and has zipped closures both inside and out. - HKA#66006
