The Navajo Yei Figures in the Sand Painting – This is how it could look

A Navajo hogan stands in evening light with a round sand painting inside showing four stylised Yei figures in the four directions. Outside a young weaver works at a vertical loom while a grandmother watches and sheep graze. A respectful tribute.
