Description:
|
A dignified woman sits very straight, looking forward with her hands to her side resting on her skirt. She wears a pair of ear spools, a necklace and bracelets representing jade adornments. On her arms there are circular marks, possibly jaguar marks. All the details in this statuette indicate this elite lady is very special.
