Kateri Quandelacy Sanchez tells a sacred story through this stunning work of wearable art. It is about Grandfather Owl who dutifully protects three Corn Maiden sisters. They bring nourishment and prosperity to A:Shiwi (The People), while Grandfather Owl acts as a Guardian. The elegant Corn Maiden's faces are from mother-of-pearl etched and filled with jet paste, while the powerful bird's watchful eyes are from pen shell in gold lip shell. Incised layered plumage and the individual corn kernels are a feast for the eyes. The pendant necklace is strung with alternating iridescent abalone and perhaps jet beads, which go hand in hand with the richness of the smoky mother-of-pearl pendant. The individual abalone beads are about 3/8" in diameter. Picture the praise coming your way when wearing this captivating pendant necklace. It is adjustable from approximately 20 3/4" to 22 1/2" long. The slightly convex pendant itself including the silver bale is roughly 3 1/4" long, 2 3/8" wide and 1/2" deep.
