Charles Loloma (1921-1991) One of Charles Loloma’s most unique jewelry pieces is the Corn Maidens. Although some people might think they resemble quails, they actually represent a Hopi Maiden. Her presence in the Kachina dance is a prayer for corn, honoring Mother Earth and her ability to feed her children. This Corn Maiden, a 14k gold pendant, is adorned with coral, turquoise, lapis, and ironwood. Charles rarely added hair to his Maidens. It is signed on the back “Loloma” and marked 14k. Dimensions: 3″ 1/4 L
