A finely carved alabaster “Corn Maiden” sculpture by Jemez Pueblo artist Matthew Panana, dating to the late 20th century.
This elegant figure features hand-carved alabaster with turquoise inlay forming the traditional corn motif—symbolizing life, sustenance, and spiritual continuity in Pueblo culture. The figure rests on a carved wooden base and retains its original presentation plaque.
Panana’s work is recognized for its refined form and cultural authenticity, and this example reflects a restrained, modern interpretation of traditional Pueblo carving.
Purchased by the original collector in 1992 from a Santa Fe gallery.
