Description |
Filled with potent and powerful energy, this male
fertility figure represents a rare art form in
Valdivian created in the female image,
representing the manifestations of the Mother
Goddess. Here, however, we experience the
masculine side of procreation in the form of a
splendid male figure, whose spirited virility
belies his small size. Sensuous to the touch and
mighty in its emotive qualities, this male fertility
figure celebrates the power and beauty of the
life-giving force held within each and every one
of us.
