Picasso Marble Maiden Figure by Rhoda Quam, Deceased

$ 225.00

A gray and brown colored Picasso marble maiden figural carved by Rhoda Qaum. Rhoda has placed two corn maidens, six maidens with water jars on top of their heads and two mothers on this stone carving - then inlaid faces out of turquoise, malachite, pink mussel shell, spiny oyster and clam shell. The maidens wear turquoise or coral dot pendants - excluding the two corn maidens. The corn maidens instead have dots inlaid into their corn rows - two are lapis, one is apple coral and there is one dot that is gold-lip. The four maidens placed on the edge of each side have incised star bursts inlaid with turquoise, melon shell, malachite and lapis dots. Lastly, there are a few incised and jet inlaid dragonflies. The maiden symbolizes abundance, fertility and feminine energy and the corn maiden is venerated in Zuni for giving up her life for the health of the community.
