Corn maiden fetish by Zuni artist Vicky Quandelacy, made of carved mother of pearl, with turquoise, coral, and jet inlay, on a Picasso marble base with blue lapis chips. It is reversible, so it can be displayed facing either way. Each side depicts a Zuni maiden and a Corn Maiden, with corn and dragonfly designs. Beautifully carved, with intricate details, especially on the maidens' clothing, this would be a showpiece of any Zuni fetish collection.
The Corn Maiden helps to bring a healthy corn crop (abundance), which is an important source of food to the Zuni.
Measurements: It measures 2 1/4" wide, 1" deep at base, and 3 1/4" tall.
