Claudia Peina: Marble with Sterling Silver Wings, Butterfly Maiden
Pay-nah
The angel maiden, carved from creamy marble, radiates a soft, serene warmth—as though lit from within by a gentle light. The marble is smooth and finely polished, its subtle veining giving depth and quiet movement to the carving. The black of the eyes contrasts beautifully with the pale marble, adding a striking, soulful presence. Around her neck rests an inlaid necklace, finely worked with alternating dots of coral and turquoise—small, vivid touches of red and blue that bring a sense of sacred adornment. Each bead seems carefully placed, their colors symbolic of vitality and tranquility. The inlays are finely set, their glossy surfaces catching light like scattered stars across her chest.
Maiden (kyatsik'i): All types of maidens are part of this collection: Corn Maiden, Grandmother Maiden, Butterfly Maiden, Maiden of Blue Corn, Maiden, etc.
Butterfly (Bu:la'kya): In its short life butterfly (Bu:la'kya) transforms from a tiny egg to a crawling caterpillar, then becomes an outwardly still cocoon until a winged creature emerges. Butterfly medicine shows us the significance of each stage of transformation. Butterfly dances on flowers, tastes nectar and flowers through their feet, sees the hidden spectrum of ultraviolet, and gracefully flies on invisible atmospheric currents, displaying balance and poise. Although butterfly looks delicate some varieties tenaciously migrate incredible distances of up to 3,000 miles. Butterfly's element is the air, symbolic of mental realms. Our minds can go in any direction and our thoughts can take any form. Butterfly navigates this positive transformation easily and brings powerful beauty to the world.
