Zaramama or Mamazara is the Peruvian goddess of grain. My name means "grain mother" and I occasionally incarnated in my own fields in the form of strangely shaped ears of corn or ears that joined in multiple growths. Sometimes these goddess images were made even more like me by being dressed as human women in a robe and shawl with a silver clasp. Sometimes, I come to earth in cornstalks which were hung by my worshippers on willow trees; festive dances were held around the willows, then the cornstalks were burned, assuring a plentiful supply of corn.
