Wearing a short skirt with a long trailing sash at
the back, this wide-hipped woman holds her
rounded stomach and looks upward, as if asking
a favor of the gods. We know that her request
has to do with fertility and childbearing. After all
these centuries, any modern woman would still
want the same things--safe and healthy delivery,
a happy life for her child.
