This offering is sold.
Shiva Lingam stone is a sacred rock found only on the banks of the Narmada River in India, one of seven holy sites. Its good energy is said to be revitalizing and calming, among other attributes. Zuni Pueblo artist Kateri Quandelacy Sanchez carved a serene Corn Maiden from one of these incredible stones. Interestingly, the first fetish carving she made was a Corn Maiden when she was very young. Corn kernels are etched while an overlaid soothing face is from iridescent gold lip shell. Features are filled with jet paste. Hovering dragonfly companions and stars adorn a smooth shawl. About 2 1/4" tall, 1 1/8" wide and 1 1/8" deep.
