This female figure features an undulating body centred on a prominent belly, evoking notions of fecundity and vitality. The animal mouth introduces a hybrid dimension, associating the woman with natural or protective forces. Taken as a whole, the female body is represented as a generative principle, both human and the bearer of a power linked to the continuity of the group.
