Dressed in an elaborate ritual costume, this
young lady kneels before us with grace and
beauty. Her hair is meticulously combed, and she
wears ornate earrings and several bracelets on
both her upper arms. She appears to be in a
trance or meditating, unaware of all the centuries
that have passed in her state of bliss.
