An upright Rainbow Man pin, the Zuni guardian and rain figure shown standing in a dancing pose with a terraced tablita headdress, a raised arm, and stepped legs. The headdress, body, kilt, and limbs are inlaid in turquoise, red, black, and white and grey shell, each section cut to shape and set stone to stone against the silver ground. Applied silver raindrops, twisted rope, and a stamped border follow the figure's silhouette, and the inlay sits flush with wear consistent with age.
