Since time began, in any culture, in any part of
the world, there are images, which are universal.
This tender depiction of motherhood could as
easily be understood in ancient Egypt, Greece or
china as in Pre-Columbian Peru. Though created
half a world away, it is kin to images of Isis with
the infant Horus, or the Madonna with the Christ
child. Its simplicity makes it timeless. As we gaze
upon this vessel, we understand that the
essential heart of human civilization remains the
same, no matter what else changes.
