Her gaze suggests that her mind is far away, with her eyes looking downward and her posture in a relaxed position. The first question that comes into our minds is what she is thinking about. The artist has given her a fascinating disposition that does not allow us to take our eyes off of her. The decoration on her body is equally admirable and exquisitely carried out. Partially clothed, her whole body is painted in polychrome colors, which may suggest her rank in her culture. All the designs are carefully executed, displaying the artist’s talent for precision and details. The headpiece that she wears is equally beautiful in its simplicity, also suggesting her rank. Together, she is a true object of beauty and one to be admired, though the reason for her smile and gaze will remain a mystery to us.
