Description

Experience the sacred beauty of Navajo spirituality through this stunning decorative glass mask depicting a Yeii (Yei), one of the powerful, benevolent Holy People in Diné tradition. Yeii serve as mediators between the human world and the creator, bringing blessings and healing to the people.

Masterfully crafted by Navajo artist Carol Lujan, this mask showcases the luminous qualities of fused and dichroic glass—a medium that captures light and color in ways that shift and shimmer as you move around it. The interplay of glass layers creates depth and dimension, honoring the spiritual presence of the Yeii while demonstrating Carol's technical mastery and artistic vision.

This piece brings both cultural significance and contemporary artistry to your space, serving as a beautiful reminder of the enduring traditions and creative innovation of Navajo artists.

About the Artist

Carol Lujan is an enrolled citizen of the Navajo Nation and an acclaimed clay and glass artist working between Arizona and New Mexico. Art and creativity are woven into her heritage—she descends from a distinguished lineage of Navajo weavers from the Big Water clan, including her great-grandmother, grandmother, and aunts. Her great-grandfather, Thomas V. Keam, was a respected early 1900s trader on the Navajo and Hopi reservations who championed Native art (Keam's Canyon, Arizona, is named after him).

Her recent focus is fused glass art, where she creates innovative pieces that bridge traditional Native design with contemporary glass techniques. Carol's signature glass rugs translate the visual language of Navajo weaving into luminous glass, drawing inspiration from her grandmother's weavings and historic mid-1800s textile patterns. She also creates striking glass masks, bowls, and platters that honor ancestral artistry while exploring new creative territory.
