Description: The Ye'ii Bicheii rug is similar to the Ye'ii design but the figures are portrayed in profile and symbolize human dancers representing deities rather than the deities themselves. These dancers are participants in the Nightway Chant(comma) which is a nine day Navajo healing ceremony. At the lead of the dancers(comma) in a white mask(comma) is the Ye'ii Bicheii(comma) or “Talking God” who appears on the last day of the ceremony. Often the design incorporates a Medicine Man (Hatathli) at the head of the line(comma) facing the lead dance(comma) and a Clown(comma) or Water Sprinkler(comma) at the end of the line of dancers. The Ye'ii Bicheii rug design is not as common as the regular Ye'ii version.</text>
