Turquoise Maiden by Kateri Sanchez

$ 90.00

A turquoise corn maiden pendant with a gray matrix and jet features, carved by Kateri Sanchez wearing an apple coral dot pendant. The maiden has a Hopi squash blossom whorl hair style; denoting her status as unmarried. There are nicely incised corn rows that taper down to a point at the base and three jet star bursts added to the sides and back of the maiden's shawl. Kateri has inlaid a large sterling silver loop to the top of the maiden's head that is 5/16 inches in diameter. The maiden will come with a synthetic leather 'chain' that has a sterling silver clasp - provided by Kateri. 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.
