Turquoise Maiden Figure by Sandra Quandelacy

$ 350.00

A graceful Kingman turquoise maiden figure with a prominent dark gray matrix carved by Sandra Quandelacy featuring a corn maiden on one side with a pipestone inlaid face and a mother on the opposite with a mother-of-pearl face - both have jet features. The corn maiden has incised corn rows then Sandra inlaid two coral, a melon shell and mother-of-pearl dot in their midst to symbolize corn kernels. Two incised dragonflies inlaid with jet pigment float on each side of the maidens. The maidens both have incised bangs and their hair flows downwards on both sides of their faces. 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.
