Native American Zuni Beaded Corn Maiden By Farlan & Alesia Quetawki
ZUNI BEADED CORN MAIDEN BY FARLAN & ALESIA QUETAWKI. Zuni beadwork has evolved from tourist souvenirs to detailed pieces of folk art.

With a continuous strand, Zuni beaders meticulously create wonderful patterns throughout their beadwork. This beautiful Corn Maiden was hand beaded by award winning artists Farlan and Alesia Quetawki. The Corn Maiden is an important figure in Pueblo culture, bringing a good harvest to feed the people. 3 3/4" tall x 3 3/4" long x 7/8 wide.
