Chat-tin

The details on this maiden are mind-blowing - intricate curves and contours that make you question how it's even possible to have so much precision in such a small object. And don't even get me started on the smoothness of the surface! It's like running your fingers over satin sheets – pure bliss. 

Corn Maiden (A:dow e:washdok'i): In the Zuni Pueblo the three stages of woman are recognized as:

• Maiden, symbolizing potential
• Mother, the life giver
• Grandmother, the wise elder

Usually the maiden fetish will be emerging from corn (the corn maiden) or she will have whorls of hair on the side of her head, signifying that she has not had a child. The mother fetish also can be emerging from the corn (the corn mother) and she will have children with her or look pregnant. The grandmother usually has a shawl over her head and no corn represented on her body.
