Zuni Olla Maidens are women who skillfully move while balancing painted pottery jars on their heads. Sandra Quandelacy's Olla Maiden Grandmother is carved from picture jasper with a jar from marble that's filled with crushed turquoise to represent life-giving water. She is distinguished as a Maiden Grandmother because of traditionally whorled hair and the wearing of a shawl. Etched facial features are filled with jet paste. Malachite and red coral embellishments, as well as etched star and Dragonfly elements decorate her. She stands strong at about 3 1/2" tall, 1" wide and 5/8" deep.
