She is part of the fertility, and fecundity celebrations of the village, representing universal love, motherhood, and prosperity - demonstrated through flat breasts, an intricate coiffure, scarification patterns, and immense size. Age cracks,major repairs to one leg, mounting studs, insect damage to one leg. |
