Based on Zuni mythology, the Corn Maidens were goddesses of the corn. However, like the gods of many cultures, they were known to disguise themselves as beggars and wander into Zuni villages, testing the villagers' hospitality. Here the beggar Corn Maiden turns over to reveal the Maiden in all her turquoise and gold beauty. Approximately 12" tall. As with all of my dolls, this is my own copyrighted pattern.
