Mother-of-Pearl Maiden, Double by Vickie Quandelacy

$ 150.00

A shimmering mother-of-pearl maiden double with jet features carved by Vickie Quandelacy. The maiden figure is inlaid to a small picture jasper base with turquoise chips inlaid all around it with a corn maiden placed on one side and a mother on the opposite side. Vickie is known for the necklaces she adorns her maidens in and this maiden figure is no exception. The corn maiden wears a turquoise necklace with a large apple coral pendant and the mother on the opposite side wears a pen shell necklace with one turquoise dot pendant. Jet inlaid star bursts add a striking contrast to the geometric lines incised on the maidens' shawls. 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.
