Zuni Rock (travertine) Butterfly Dancer by Enrike Leekya - Zuni Fetish

$ 175.00

A fantastic cream, gray and golden ocher colored Zuni rock butterfly maiden dancer with turquoise inlaid eyes carved by Enrike Leekya holding two gold lip pieces of corn. The maiden is carved from one stone and is inlaid to a Zuni rock base for added stability. The maiden wears a head band with four turquoise inlaid dots that lead the eyes to the raised rings/dots incised on the prominent butterfly wings. The butterfly dance is a thanksgiving ceremony for the harvest - chiefly for the corn crop. The butterfly dance is a petition for rain, good health and long life for all living things. The dance also recognizes the butterfly for its beauty and its contribution in pollinating plant life.
