| Description |
This voluptuous Mesoamerican Venus, holds her
arms out from her sides and takes a tentative
step forward, as if walking on a tightrope.
Perhaps she recognizes that this is the perfect
metaphor for passion, requiring skill, daring and
balance. Though she is aware of the dangers,
she seems willing to take the risk.
- (PF.0418)
