Turquoise Maiden by Sandra Quandelacy

$ 160.00

A turquoise maiden figure with a brown matrix carved by Sandra Quandelacy featuring a corn maiden on one side and a mother on the opposite - both have jet inlaid features. Sandra incised the corn rows then inlaid a coral, azurite/malachite and lapis dot amidst them. The mother on the opposite side wears a matta/dress with a small sash incised in the stone at the waist. There are dragonflies incised around both the maidens - some but not all are inlaid with jet pigment. Maidens symbolize abundance, fertility and feminine energy and corn maidens are revered in Zuni for giving up their life to help sustain the Zuni tribe with their corn bodies.
