Description
Boldly voluptuous, this little woman belongs to a tradition as old as time itself, the fertility Goddess. Mankind's earliest religion focused on the mother, the generous source of life itself. This powerful figure seems the epitome of abundant femininity, a female possessed of eternal powers. She is sister to Neolithic idols, to Astarte, to Isis, to Venus, and all other such goddesses. We have no difficulty recognizing her magic, in comprehending her enduring mystery. - (PF.1968)
