A turquoise maiden figure with a greenish brown matrix carved by Sandra Quandelacy with a corn maiden on one side with nicely incised corn rows with two coral, one jet and one clam dot inlaid in the corn rows. On the opposite side is a mother wearing a fringe shawl - both maidens have jet inlaid features. The maidens wear coral pendants with one jet inlaid dragonfly and star burst placed to the sides of each side of the maidens The maidens' share a gray and black veined tablita headdress. Sandra told Sunshine Studio that she hasn't added a tabilita to the maidens' heads in over five years! 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.
