At any time throughout history, at any place in the world, the fundamental appeal of this delighful nude would be understood. She makes us realize that the essentials of life have changed little, no matter what other progress has been achieved. With her hairstyle and jewelry, she evokes a woman of Ancient Mexico, but she could as easily be from Egypt, China, or Babylon. Placed in a tomb, she offered the promise of renewal, rebirth, continuity. Her magic is as timeless as woman herself.
