This charming figure sits before us with a simple pose of hands on hips, and gives us a feeling of wisdom and insight. The markings along the upper torso and on the face add contrast as well as beauty to the overall design. The polychrome head and body combined create a simple but beautiful work of art that is capable of transcending the changes of time. With pieces such as this we are able to learn from and appreciate the past.
