The first fruits of the harvest are a special offering to The Creator, Mother Earth, Father Sky and the ancestors for their blessings. Individually carved corn cobs from apple coral, angelite and iridescent gold lip mother-of-pearl shell are respectfully nestled in crushed turquoise, representing life-giving water. The powerful Zuni Maiden wears an intricately carved feather headdress tipped with red coral, complimented by an inlaid Sunface from turquoise, apple coral and gold lip shell. A natural, gorgeous grey inclusion in the Picasso marble emerges from below the Sunface with electrifying energy as the symbol represents the elements in balance. Elegant facial features are from slivers of jet and coral. A lovely floral necklace is from tiny turquoise and coral inlays. About 3 3/4" tall, 2 3/8" wide and 1 1/8" deep, presented by master carver Hudson Sandy.
