It took me a while to warm up to the maidens, but, in typical GUY fashion Dave was immediately smitten. He bought from most of the carvers who made them. And when we found the Sice boys, he could never get enought of Troy's pretty butterfly girls.

This maiden is carved of finely polished elk antler and gently sways with the drum beat. Can't you hear it? She's gorgeous and adorned with countless points of red coral, turquoise and penshell inlay. Perfect, inlay, I should add. So beautifully made from the bottom of her moccasins to her traditional hairdo for maidens, she is a joy to behold.

EDIT: A savvy collector has pointed out a crack on the tip of the right moccasin. It appears more discernable in the photo than in life. But clearly a repair was made and can be felt with a fingernail on the bottom, but not on the top. I think it happened in the carving process and maybe was polished off? In all the years she's been in our collection, we never noticed it. In any case, normally we would not sell a repaired carving. Since we are liquidating, I will reduce the price* accordingly. It's a shame because in every other aspect, she's fabulous. Certificate will note the flaw.
