| Description |
Perpetuating all life in the cosmos, this ancient,
ceramic Mother Goddess from Ecuador, evokes in
all who experience her, a loving and sensual
feeling. Creatively molded from the very earth
itself, she displays the ancient Valdivian artists'
remarkable sensitivity to the female form and all
of its spirited manifestations. Not only is rapt
attention paid to the fertile womanliness of her
body, but her cosmic life force is experienced as
well, through the shining light that radiates from
her smooth and graceful body surface. As we
cradle this small figure in our hands, we feel her
age-old message...it is one of nurturing and
enrichment, of love and compassion that
transcends the confines of both time and space.
