<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 4476765, member: 76316&quot;]Disclaimer: The item&#039;s image isn&#039;t any better than what you see here...it&#039;s fuzzy.</p><p><br /></p><p>~4¾&quot; X ~3½&quot;; self-framed with paper on very thin, pre-float glass.</p><p><br /></p><p>The woman and child are nude on a large Lotus leaf, surrounded by others including a single Lotus blossom. Her curly hair is waist-length, showing on both sides of her torso. She gazes up at him in an almost imploring or supplicating attitude while her left arm holds him closely to her shoulder, as her right hand lies palm-up against her left thigh. His left arm is raised, hand open, fingers spread. He looks down at her face without expression, his right arm entirely hidden behind her head, neck and back. There appears to be a large illuminated halo surrounding them, without any other detail on the horizon or elsewhere.</p><p><br /></p><p>The twisted cord suspension yoke might be silk; it could be baby-fine human hair. There are three words in pencil on the back, apparently in a foreign language that resembles European, illegible to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve had it over 50 years. I&#039;m no closer to understanding its meaning than I was the day I purchased it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Both of them appear Caucasian, but the Lotus pond puts a spin on that assumption. Is she his Mother, or Sister...or? Are they human, or Angels of some variety? Are they mythical creatures from a legendary past? Have they names? What culture...and when?</p><p><br /></p><p>I certainly wish I knew...and can only hope that some of you will recognize these two and expose me to their truth.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]388191[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]388192[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]388193[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
