Malachite Maiden by Kateri Sanchez

$ 90.00

A small forest and blue green veined malachite corn maiden carved by Kateri looking up at the sky with incised features inlaid with jet pigment. Kateri has given the maiden a lovely contrasting apple coral dot pendant then incised the corn rows below it. The maiden's hair peaks out from a shawl that has four incised dragonflies 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.
