Description |
Simple yet elegant, this little figure represents a
man in his most basic form. Any person holding
it recognizes a bond with its subject: the chain of
human life, unbroken since time began. Those
who first created this effigy so long ago saw it
essentially as we do today. That ancient culture
has evolved and disappeared, yet in the presence
of this figure, we can understand something vital
about their world.
