This small female figure sits calmly for the
viewer. This figure's womanhood is not
exaggerated as much as other figures of this
type. While this is true, this figure still possesses
the characteristic element of pieces of its kind;
highly defined hair and a hand placed over the
womb. She has a definite sense of feminine
pride and self-assurance. Though simple, she
represents the power of the female spirit.
