With a powerful presence that belies her small size, this ancient mother Goddess speaks to us in a language that is truly Universal. Masterfully created from the Valvadian culture of Ancient Ecuador, she evokes myriad qualities of the great mother. With her well-defined breasts and hands clasped gently over her womb, she illustrates fertility as well as an aura of nurturing and love. She is in all aspects a sensual being. As this ancient figurine embraces us in her warm, radiant glow, we are reminded of the beauty of life that the mother goddess gives us, with its constant and comforting flow of never-ending cycles and seasons.
