| Description |
Time and nature have given this figure a dark
coating of mineral deposits which only enhance
her air of mystery. Her ample, rounded form
evokes earth goddesses, powerful feminine
deities. She stares downward with a preoccupied,
intense expression, as if she is contemplating
secret rituals, things about which she will not
speak.
