Rainbow Man, just steps from the Plaza, has offered Native American, Spanish Colonial, New Mexican and Mexican art and handcrafts since 1945. The shop is packed with antique, vintage and contemporary handmade treasures. Knowledgable staff is on hand to help you choose the perfect gift. The shop is known for its Pendleton blankets, its huge selection of antique and old pawn Navajo and other tribal jewelry and its collection of the work of renowned photographer Edward S. Curtis' Native American photos. New Mexican folk artists represented here include Tesuque wood-carver Ron Archuleta Rodriguez and Hispanic santera and painter Marie Romero Cash as well as the work of her son Gregory Lomayesva whose colorful wood carvings pay homage to his Hopi ancestry. Shoppers will find a range of items from $10 Mexican tchotchkes to $50,000 for Curtis photos or a spectacular 19th century concho belt, with lots in between.
