Description

Holding a small offering cup in her hand, this special lady looks as though she is prepared for a celebration. She wears boldly patterned garments in ochre, cream and black against a reddish brown base color. Multiple nose and ear ornaments adorn her youthful face and bracelets lay high on her delicate arms. Her expression is relaxed with her lips parted showing white teeth. "Have I arrived on time?" she inquires. Such as silly question she asks. Her whimsical oval eyes reveal her innocent importance. She knows the celebration could never start without her delightful presence. - (PF.3194)
