This striking combination of colors creates a sense of calm and tranquility, as if the ancient stone itself is whispering secrets from centuries past. The green serpentine offers a unique and eye-catching hue, while the turquoise inlay adds a touch of glamour and sophistication. Each delicate detail is expertly carved and placed, enhancing the overall elegance of the maiden figure.

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.
