A Tablita Harvest Corn-Maiden is thoughtfully carved from a gorgeous orthoceras fossil stone. Orthoceras mollusks lived in ancient Ordovician waters millions of years ago. Their aragonite shells fossilized into a white-like calcite, which now is an attractive contrast to the dark limestone they hardened in. We're admiring Kateri Quandelacy Sanchez's use of the main fossil to beautify an etched corn body. Facial features are from overlaid gold lip mother-of-pearl shell, etched and filled with jet paste. Corn plants are incised into the headdress that is worn during ceremonial dances. About 4 3/4" tall, 1 3/4" wide and 3/4" deep.
