| Description |
This beautiful earthenware figure, in burnished
red demonstrates the delicacy of design and the
skill involved in creating such a piece. This
delicacy is accentuated in the decoration of the
piece, with the simple black decoration, which
outlines certain parts of the sculpture such as
the headpiece. The features are small and the
expression is fixed and determined. The nostrils
are pierced to provide a more naturalistic
disposition. Throughout the entire piece, the
artist has remained simple yet effective in his
goal and in his simplicity. The rounded figure
portrays all of the emotions from the front, not
allowing any distraction by having any kind of
ornamentation at the back, thus creating a true
centerpiece of art.
