An authentic Navajo sandpainting by artist Alvina Begay, featuring a beautifully detailed Yeibichai (Navajo Holy People) design traditionally associated with harmony, balance, and ceremonial storytelling. This work is created using naturally colored sands applied with meticulous skill, forming two mirrored Holy People in turquoise, black, ivory, and earth tones — a striking representation of Southwestern artistry.
The piece comes with its original Certificate of Authenticity, confirming Begay’s authorship and providing cultural context about the significance of sandpaintings in Navajo ceremonial practice.
Professionally framed in a rustic solid-wood frame with complementary desert-toned double matting, this artwork is ready to hang. The compact size makes it ideal for gallery walls, shelf styling, or pairing with pottery, woven textiles, and other Southwestern décor.
