Women are the promise of life. They are fertility with a human face. Surely this charming female figurine was associated with ancient fertility rites. She sits in a casual pose while looking straight at us. The hands are on her hips, a popular pose in a figure such as this one. Though very small no detail has been lost on this piece, which is an example of the craftsmanship of the artist. She captivates us with her harmonious fullness of form and the effective momentum of her designs. The interlocking mat patterns may be indicative of dress or body painting. Her face is painted orange making the eyes and ears more prominent. Large ear spools adorn her ears and her eyes are opened wide and alert. There is also a hallowed out hole in the back of her body that perhaps they once placed incense. Her cap is in a mushroom style with a bold orange line running through the center. She possesses a sense of liveliness and a seductiveness that immediately captures our hearts and imaginations.
