Picture Jasper Maiden by Kateri Sanchez

$ 220.00

An adorable overall muted ocher colored picture jasper maiden with a gold-lip face and jet features carved by Kateri Sanchez. The maiden balances an olla/water jar on its head - made from the same stone and inlaid with apple coral bits. The maiden wears a turquoise dot pendant and a sash inlaid with two apple coral dots. The fringe shawl the maiden wears hides a prominent amount of the maiden's hair on the back side. The shawl has four incised star bursts and one dragonfly on the back - all inlaid with jet pigment contrasting nicely with the vertical lines added that convey fringe. 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.
