This small female figure sits calmly for the viewer. This figure's womanhood is not exaggerated as much as other figures of this type. While this is true, this figure still possesses the characteristic element of pieces of its kind; highly defined hair and a hand placed over the womb. She has a definite sense of feminine pride and self-assurance. Though simple, she represents the power of the female spirit
