The broad and happy smile on the face of this
young mother as she gently caresses her baby is
a universal icon for the joys of parenthood.
Certain basic and vital human values are the
same, whether found in the ancient jungles of
Mesoamerica or in modern concrete cities. This
charming sculpture conveys one of life's
fundamental and eternal pleasures: the bond
between mother and child.
