The front is prominently carved and painted with a large ear of corn in red, yellow, blue, and white, framed by green husks. The underside is signed “H. Benally,” “Diné,” and “Corn Lady.” The carving retains visible natural wood grain and hand-carved details throughout, with minor surface wear and paint variation consistent with display.
