$ 225.00

This Zuni Corn Maiden fetish carving is by Faye Quandelacy.  She is certainly one of the most famous descendants of Ellen Quandelacy and known for her very classic style of corn maidens. They are each hand carved and the horizontal eyes are indicative of her style.  This corn maiden is one of her best uses of the stone and the design.  On one side of the maiden there is a turquoise face and the fossil elements make up part of the shawl.  On the opposite side has a mother of pearl face and note how the fossil makes up the center of the body!  It is an exceptional piece of her carving.   The figure is in excellent condition.
