This is a 1950's era sand cast Navajo Yei Rainbow Man Naja Squash Blossom necklace. The necklace has a unique Rainbow Man Yei Naja with a clip on the back, so it can be moved to different necklaces. The necklace is made up of Navajo pearl and double-cone beads and fourteen squash blossoms. The necklace is strung on a herringbone box chain. The center of the Naja has a Morenci turquoise stone and both Yehi have red coral stones. The necklace measures 26"; the Naja measures 2 1/4" x 2 1/4". The necklace shows no maker’s hallmark or metal mark, but it has a fine patina that comes with silver and is in good condition.
