Chad Quandelacy honors the life-giver Mother who lovingly keeps daughter close. Confident faces are from either pink mussel shell or turquoise. They wear accent inlays from coral, turquoise, jet and malachite. A marvelous mosaic inlay from pink mussel shell, turquoise, coral, jet, lapis lazuli and spiny oyster shell adorn Mother's blanket along with etched jet paste star elements. Representing the importance of the matriarchal arrangement in the Zuni family, this tidgilite fetish is approximately 2 5/8" tall, 1 1/4" wide and 3/4" deep including the jet base.
