Spiny Oyster Maiden Figure by Gloria Chattin

A spiny oyster maiden figure carved by Gloria Chattin depicting a corn maiden on each side - both the orange/red side and the sublime cream colored side. There are nicely incised corn rows on the maidens along with four hand made dots inlaid straight down the middle of each side - utilizing bits of lapis, apple coral, turquoise and jet. Gloria has given each maiden a shawl with geometric designs incised on them, then she incised a corn row on one side of each maiden and a dragonfly on the opposite side. There is a small base inlaid to the maidens for added support - with turquoise chips inlaid around the juncture.
