Turquoise Maiden by Kateri Sanchez

A small soft muted aqua green colored turquoise corn maiden with jet features and one coral dot pendant carved by Kateri Sanchez. Kateri has incised the maiden's bangs on the front and designs on the shawl seen on the back. The maiden holds a bowl carved from the same stone, then she inlaid it with lapis bits. Maidens symbolize the divine gift of the harvest, fertility, and life-giving abundance. They are highly revered fetishes representing the nurturing feminine energies, the creation of sustenance, and the connection to the earth's cycles.
