    In viewing this Navajo weaving your eyes are drawn to the center of the rug to the stylized Yeibichai mask on a gray field.

    The wide borders of light blue, yellow, white and black denote direction. The tri-colored bars of red, white, and dark blue represent rainbows.

    Of all the figures in Navajo life and mythology, Coyote (Maii) is the most contradictory and delightful animaL Coyote is considered a god, a trickster, and an evil spirit; he cannot be killed because he is powerful and contradictory.

    The Navajos have an omen that if a Coyote crosses your path something terrible will happen to you unless you turn back and do not continue your journey.
