Trail of the Rainbow, 1967. Concho belt on right.

Not really seeing any jewelry in the painting below, but certainly one of these guys is wearing a belt buckle. :wink: Regardless, it was too beautiful to not post.

I’ve always loved his work. Thanks especially for posting that one! There’s just something about his work that really gives me such a feel of the desert southwest. If I had any more room on my walls, I’d probably hang a poster/print of one of his works. Bet they have some at the Eiteljorg.

Remington is also one of my favorites. I have his The Fall of the Cowboy in a prominent position over our fireplace. But no turquoise in that one.

More from Allen Bahe. The silver jewelry on these Navajo Yei just pops out of the paintings.

Was just finishing up my Dec issue of AZ Highways, and this was on the back page. I do believe Santa has a turquoise buckle!

Jim Abeita, Navajo on Horseback


The Diné with his rifle, sitting on his horse at a standstill, is probably looking for coyotes that have been attacking the sheep. The sky, ranging from blue to gray, would indicate blowing dust—therefore a reason for the kerchief over his face.
