This sculptural work honors Mary Lou Ridinger, born on November 20, 1945, in Fort Worth, Texas, a pioneering figure renowned for rediscovering the lost jade deposits of the ancient Maya in the Motagua River Valley of Guatemala in 1974.
Carved in mint green jade, the sculpture presents Mary Lou standing with quiet strength, holding a mug in her hands, a gesture that evokes warmth, reflection, and humanity. She wears her iconic imperial green jade ring and a traditional dress rendered in rich, vibrant colors, symbolizing her deep respect for Maya culture and the living traditions of Guatemala.
Artist: RAFAEL ZURDO
