Beaded and quilled corn earrings using rare dandelion Assorted yellow beads to give a slight realistic image of real Indian corn. A small box design in the middle of the ear of corn is seen widely in floral designs from plains tribes and their beadwork/ quillwork.
 
Corn, is a symbol of Indigenous roots in what we call the America's.  It is indigenous to these lands and only grew in these lands until colonization. For many indigenous cultures, corn was a staple to our diets and was planted within every crop. Lots of art and praise was given about corn because of that, so often you hear of cultures using corn pollen to pray or having the marbled ears of corn bless their homes, because it was also a sacred symbol to stand tall and strong.
