| Description |
This sensuous little figure with her finely detailed
hair and jewels evokes the eternally feminine.
She is a spiritual sister to the Astarte of the
Babylonians, the Isis of the Egyptians, the Venus
of the classical world. Centuries ago, this
voluptuous figure was placed in an ancient tomb
to guarantee the continuity of life. Her tangible
sexuality still speaks clearly across all barriers of
time and culture.
