The artist of this intriguing object has gracefully crafted a face, producing a majestic work of art. This face comes to life through the precise lines of the eyebrows and the geometric sculpting of the eyes and nose. The longer we contemplate this work, the more we feel connected to this person through the careful attention to detail. The incised lines are so fine they look as if they have been created with a small carving tool to represent the iconography of this culture with precision. The person looks out at us through wide eyes and through this power we continue to look at the work. In each leg, a clay ball creates the effect of a rattle that was probably used in ritualistic ceremonies, or places of worship. Through the carefully created incisions, and the pure geometry, we are spellbound as we look at a piece of art full of power and majesty.
