This expressive figure sits before the viewer with grace and dignity. Her posture signifies her position in the community yet her cross-legged pose, demonstrates a certain amount of comfort. Though completely nude, the beautiful painted designs covering her skin, act like thin gauze covering her perfectly toned skin. She wears no jewelry except for a simple pair of earrings that compliment her exotic headpiece. Although her face shows a disdainful look, her elegance is quickly noted, highlighting the workmanship of the artist, and the art of the ancient past.
