Corn Maiden Clay Sculpture by Pablita (Ta-Nez-Bah) Abeyta, Navajo ca. 1995 (SSC93)
Fantastic clay Corn Maiden sculpture created by renowned Navajo artist Pablita Abeyta. Handcrafted from a slightly speckled clay, this beautifully textured sculpture has a lot of details. Her dress is decorated in the front with ears of corn, blue beads and leather tassels. She wears a heishi necklace and has brass buttons at the shoulders with more leather fringe. Painted details on the face and collar. She may have had a tuft of feathers on her head at one time.
This sculpture was purchased directly from the artist in 1995, and the piece will come with a handwritten note from the artist. Sadly, Pablita died in 2017 at the young age of 63. Her legacy is one of an award-winning artist, activist and educator. Her middle name of Ta-Nez-Bah translates "One Who Completes a Circle". She comes from a large family of artists, including her father, internationally renowned painter Narciso Abeyta, and her brother, legendary artist Tony Abeyta.
