Corn Maidens
Today, Zuni Corn Maidens are carved by hand from a number of beautiful and unique materials that range from antler,sugarlite, quartz, shell, fossilized ivory, coral, jet, serpentine, lapis lazuli, amber and other stones. Sandra and Faye Quandelacy created the three figured, dual sided Corn Maidens. The robe on a Corn Maiden is an older design. Mature Corn Maidens are depicted without corn kernels and have richer robes. The garments on a Corn Maiden can have various pottery designs associated with the different rain elements. Dragonflies portrayed by a vertical line crossed with two horizontal lines on the robes, are messengers who carry prayers to the spirit world. These creatures lay their eggs in water. Dragonflies mean water. Where there is water, there is life. Some Corn Maidens carry offerings of crushed turquoise. Some carry trays of corn. Adornments by the artists are offerings quite beautiful. Corn Maidens can be carved to fit in the palm of the hand, and others are table top, museum quality carvings.
