This powerful vessel enlightens us to the idea of
a powerful female figure or even a matriarchal
society. Seated facing the viewer, she stares at
you with deep penetrating eyes as if she can read
what you are thinking. Her mouth is slightly ajar,
tantalizing us with the possibility of revealing a
secret while at the same time, revealing nothing.
She comes across to us as an open person, her
genitalia are revealed to us, leaving nothing of
her to the imagination. The rich polychrome
colors add to her beauty as do the adornments
around her, such as her necklace and her other
body decoration. At the back of the vessel, is
another face that has been added, of equal
power and intrigue as she? Though we will never
know what she is trying to tell us, we will always
be captivated by the curiosity and fascination
that she brings.
