Though wearing little more than feathered
earrings, this man radiates a serene human
dignity. He sits lost in contemplation: his eyes
are open, but he seems focused on some point in
the infinite distance. Centuries ago, he may have
drifted into a reverie from which he has yet to
awaken. Is he even aware of the vastly changed
world in which he now finds himself? In the
presence of such a figure, we are reminded of
the need for introspection, of quiet times spent
alone with our inner thoughts.
