This original book delves into the origins and contemporary
interpretations of the Knifewing god in Zuni mythology and the
sacred being Rainbow Man from ancient Zuni traditions, neither of
which is an all-powerful and important Kachina. This thorough study
of the subject was undertaken to establish the identities of
twenty-eight, mid-20th century and current jewelers who made silver
and mosaic inlay pins, bracelets, bolo ties and other ornaments.
168 color photos display subtle variations that indicate a
particular master's work and distinctive style. Detailed analysis
explains the changes and connections among early and recent makers
and their individual styles, materials, and designs.
