| Description |
As we hold this splendid figure in our hands
today, we see a human female in her most
essential form. Such effigies, whether goddess or
mortal, have been created since time began in
every part of the world. The reaction this
charming woman evokes in us is hardly different
from that felt by the people who made her and
held her long ago. She represents the beauty and
mystery of human existence, the fertile promise
of continuity. Her power is ageless, basic as a
heartbeat.
