A young and lovely maiden captured in a moment of pious devotion while reciting her Morning Prayer to the Sun.
A hand carved Elk Antler maiden with beautifully sculpted and meticulously incised hair buns inlaid with red Mediterranean Coral. Her eyes are inlaid with Black Jet pigment and a red Mediterranean Coral mouth.
She showcases a red Mediterranean Coral necklace with a Sleeping Beauty Turquoise pendant.
Her robe is designed with geometric designs and dragonfly motifs inlaid with Black Jet pigment, stars of Red Pipestone, Lapis, and Serpentine pigments. Inlaid stones of green Serpentine, red Mediterranean Coral, Lapis, Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, and Gold Mother of Pearl highlight and bring forth bursts of color. A detailed hem finishes her skirt.
Her white moccasins are carved to showcase her white leather legs wraps and inlaid with a Sleeping Beauty Turquoise drop. The soles are burnished for contrast.
