Description
In such figures we see the frozen forever fleeting expressions of human awe and wonder. It is perhaps because this vivid woman and others of her kind acted as witnesses to the rituals of death and the ceremonies of departure into the unknown, while at the same time they served as affirmations of the pleasures of this world in the one beyond. Centuries later, back among the living, she still seems to find much that causes her to stare wide-eyed and with awe parted lips. - (PF.0888)
