Apple Coral Maiden by Kateri Sanchez

$ 160.00

A striking apple coral maiden with a gold-lip inlaid face and jet features carved by Kateri Sanchez. The maiden wears a tablita style headdress and is a dancer we are told by Kateri - she dances for a successful harvest. There are incised bangs in the maidens hair which compliment the incised lines on the edge of the fringe shawl on the back. There are jet inlaid starbursts as well as one prominent dragonfly - placed on the center of the maiden's shawl on the back side. Three turquoise dots create a pendant and sash embellishment - contrasting nicely with the rest of the carving. Maiden carvings remind us of abundance, fertility and the power of feminine energy and the corn maiden is venerated in Zuni for giving up her life for the health of the community.
