Description:
In Spanish, you would say "dar a luz" or "to give light" and in English "to give birth." The Mesoamericans considered the womb like a cave and the birthing process emerging into the light or life, in other words, resurrection. The position of the left hand to the head and the right hand on her abdomen describes an iconic position for childbirth in Mesoamerica.
