Narrative: With open and generous face, this Navajo Corn Maiden bears no less a generous offering of corn - the nurturing staple of diets throughout the New World. Turquoise and coral earrings and necklace, and a silver bracelet and mantle pin are emblematic of Navajo skill and craft, as is the weaving of the dress blanket that she wears.
Traditional iconography gives witness to the human face of the Sacred. This icon, imaged in the features of America’s indigenous peoples, reveals anew that sacred power. It celebrates the soul of the Native American as the original spiritual presence on this continent, and as a prophetic sign, it celebrates the reconciliation of the spiritual vision of Native and Christian peoples of this land.
