Septarian Nodule Bear & Corn Maiden

By Kateri Quandelacy Sanchez, Zuni-Acoma

This offering is sold.
Bears are the most prevalent subject of Zuni carvings. By honoring and acknowledging a bear’s natural traits such as strength, power, journeying, protection and mothering, we can awaken similar attributes within ourselves. Kateri Quandelacy Sanchez has paired this protective Bear with a life-affirming Corn-Maiden who wears a fringed shawl. Carved from one specimen of rich septarian nodule, the bear's gentle eyes are from jet inlays. The graceful Corn Maiden's face is from iridescent gold lip shell and a bright turquoise stone adorns. Heavenly etched stars and a water creature Dragonfly friend also accent this approximately 1 3/4" long, 7/8" wide and 1 5/8" tall wonderful piece.
