Jasper Maiden by Kateri Sanchez

$ 220.00

A gray and maroon/red sienna two toned jasper lingam used by Kateri Sanchez to make a corn maiden with a gold-lip inlaid face and jet inlaid features. The Hindu scripture Shiva Purana describes the origin of the lingam, known as Shiva-linga, as the beginning-less and endless cosmic pillar (Stambha) of fire, the cause of all causes. Lord Shiva is pictured as emerging from the Lingam. Therefore Kateri has used this lingam to create a corn maiden emerging from the pillar of swirling fire with jet inlaid dragonflies witnessing her emergence. 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
