Serpentine Maiden by Cheryl Beyuka

$ 90.00

A cream colored serpentine corn maiden standing next to a large jar - both carved from the same stone by Cheryl Beyuka. Cheryl has given the maiden jet slit style eyes and an apple coral mouth. She then inlaid a dot necklace composed from two jet, two turquoise and one apple coral dot. Below the necklace is incised lines to denote corn rows and on the shawl that covers up most of the corn rows are five star bursts with two jet, two apple coral and one turquoise dots at their centers. 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.
