Full original description
A woman initiated as shown by her scarifications, standing on a stool with her hands in her belly as a sign of welcome and peace and also, often, the announcement of a next maternity. The woman appears naked as usual in the African statuary. He wears a necklace topped in a ball spice that falls between both breasts. The rusty metal is very worn out, which can indicate an age of centuries.
