Fish Rock (Serpentine) Maiden by Cheryl Beyuka

$ 75.00

A cream colored fish rock, serpentine corn maiden with jet and coral inlaid features carved by Cheryl Beyuka standing next to a large potter jar. Both the jar and the maiden are carved from the same stone. The maiden wears a five dot necklace and has corn rows incised directly under them in a triangular shaped area. The maiden's matta/dress has five star bursts incised on the front - with five dots added to great effect - two turquoise, two jet and one coral. Maidens symbolize abundance, fertility and feminine energy and the corn maiden is venerated in Zuni for giving up her life for the health of the community.
