Perpetuating all life in the cosmos, this ancient, ceramic Mother Goddess from Ecuador, evokes in all who experience her, a loving and sensual feeling. Creatively molded from the very earth itself, she displays the ancient Valdivian artists' remarkable sensitivity to the female form and all of its spirited manifestations. Not only is rapt attention paid to the fertile womanliness of her body, but her cosmic life force is experienced as well, through the shining light that radiates from her smooth and graceful body surface. As we cradle this small figure in our hands, we feel her age-old message...it is one of nurturing and enrichment, of love and compassion that transcends the confines of both time and space.
