Maiden, Mother, Wise Elder. We have referred to tribal oral tradition in naming these powerful goddesses, which are adapted from an image by artist Cris Palamino. At the top is the self-sacrificing maiden Aliquipiso of the Oneida tribe; then Irriaku, the Corn Mother who connects the Pueblo people with the Earth; at the base, in her tobacco-leaf crown, is Grandmother Spider, Wisdom Goddess of the Cherokee.
Red/bronze colored resin.
Approximate size: 10.75" tall x 4" wide (27cmx10cm)
