Description
For dignity and regal manner, there is hardly an art to surpass that of Quimbaya. Though the human form is presented in a flat, stylized manner, it seems to carry behind it the accumulated experience of life and wisdom. We recognize implicitly that these elegant terra cottas represent real individuals, people whose stories would delight us if only they could be told. - (PF.0241)
