Plumb and fertile, this Nazca woman symbolizes human life in its most essential form. In spirit she is sister to the stone-age Venuses of Europe and the terracotta Astarte figures of the Near East. Her function is older than memory, timeless and eternal. We feel her primal power, gentle yet all-encompasing. In the presence of such an image we instinctively understand the bonds that link all human life together.
