By Mary Beth Jiron
In Pueblo culture, corn is the symbol of life given by the Corn Maidens. As the sun gives life to the corn, the Corn Maidens brings life to the people. There are six Corn Maidens - Yello, Red, Blue, White, Black and Spotted - each presenting a different variety of corn grown by native peoples. In Mary Beth Jiron's blanket design, the colors reflect the lively variety of corn as well as the warm hues of the landscape of the Southwest. Unnapped. 82% pure virgin wool/18% cotton. Felt bound. Dry clean. Made in the USA.
