Vintage Rainbow Man by LL Shetima
A hand crafted dancing rainbow man ring by LL (Linchen L.) Shetima Sr. Linchen was born in 1946 on the Zuni Pueblo in New Mexico. His children and grandchildren have continued the art of jewelry making to this day.
The sterling silver band securely braces the multi stone figure perfectly. Created out of Mother of Pearl, Turquoise, Spiny Oyster, Jet and Abalone. This amazing fetish ring is in great condition with only minor wear from age and use, with NO breaks or missing stones. The Rainbow Man, also sometimes referred to as the Rainbow Dancer, is a sacred Zuni Indian guardian spirit identified with the life giving summer rains and the colors of the rainbow after the summer’s rain. The Rainbow Man is a symbol of protection 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 figure is most often depicted with an arched or curved back resembling the shape of the rainbow usually horizontally. The Rainbow Man wears a kilt and a tablita or terraced cap on his head. From the estate of our favorite Aunt Virginia!
