| Description |
Wearing an elaborate feathered headdress, some
jewelry and little else, this abstract woman sits
cross-legged in prayer. Centuries ago, some
person placed her to worship at the shrine of a
Mayan god the rest of the world had long
forgotten. This orant has faithfully kept her part
of the bargain, and in her presence we are in
direct touch with that individual who chose her
as a stand-in for all eternity.
