Sandra Quandelacy's wonderful reversible gold lip mother-of-pearl fetish shows
corn-maiden sisters on one side, while the other has Grandmother and another corn maiden by her side. The corn maidens have etched
corn bodies. Vibrant pieces of coral, turquoise, lapis lazuli and malachite embellish them. Incised facial details are darkened with jet paste, as are the many
Dragonfly friends on their traditional clothing. Crushed turquoise represents water as it brims an etched olla pottery bowl and around the base where a sacred corn stalk grows. Including the mother-of-pearl base, measures are approximately 3 1/4" tall, 2 1/4" wide and 7/8" deep.
