18$ •Corn Maiden Charms (Dancing & Standing)
Cast Bronze Talismans from the collection of the late Judith Schiavone. Tied on long silky cord, slips over the head or for your own chain or as an Altar Amulet.
The Corn Maiden: Across the Pueblo nations of New Mexico and Arizona, corn is not simply a crop — it is the foundation of life, spirituality, and identity. The summarized Pueblo understanding: "Corn is to Pueblo people what the buffalo has always been to the Plains Indians, the very symbol of LIFE." The Corn Maiden personifies this relationship. Her figural form — a female body whose shape echoes an ear of corn — appears in jewelry, pottery, and ceremonial art throughout the Southwest. Color associations follow the direction-color system of many Pueblo traditions: yellow corn (West or North, depending on the nation), blue corn, white corn, and red corn each carry distinct significance.
Puebloans hold the Corn Maiden in high esteem, weaving her presence into agricultural practices and spiritual rituals across generations. The Corn Maiden is not a single unified symbol — each Pueblo nation holds its own teachings about her meaning, and many of those teachings are internal to the community. Jemez Pueblo is specifically noted as holding sacred significance around this figure. Zuni carvers and artists work with corn imagery within their own cultural framework.
For several years in the early 1990s, Gino and Judith developed a brick & mortar store in Taos store called “The Corn Maiden“ offering their creations made & collected with the Tarot, Goddess and local Puebloan spiritual themes.
These three Amulets are from Judith’s personal collection in Taos, not made by the Schiavone Studio.
Though we do our best to portray the colors we see in the product with the naked eye, color may vary from the images shown. Every monitor or mobile display has a different capability to display colors, and every individual may see these colors differently. In addition, lighting conditions at the time the photo was taken can also affect an image's color.
