This precious little double maiden carving is made by Sandra Quandelacy from turquoise. She stands 1.75 inches tall so she's
sweet and petite and wears the butterfly hairdo of maidens. One side of the maiden is dressed in a traditional manta and
skirt with a shawl. The other side is carved with a body of corn and set with tiny inlays of red coral and turquoise. The
facial features are etched and inked on both girls. Just adorable -- and signed!
