The harvest season comes to the Pueblo late summer. Cody Chavez's Corn Maiden represents the bounty and sacred importance of Corn. For the A:Shiwi (The People) and other Indigenous societies, growing corn is a sustenance crop called the Mother because it’s cultivated from Mother Earth. Carved from serpentine with dimensional layers of toffee-hued goodness, measurements of Corn Maiden are about 2 3/8" tall, 5/8" wide and 1 3/8" deep. Assured eyes and accent inlays are from turquoise. A Zuni Sunface symbol from inlaid coral, jet and turquoise represents a balance of the elements.
