| Figure 1 represents an African woman sitting by a vase, and Figure 3 represents an African woman carrying two baskets. In many African towns and villages markets are held where you can buy the typical artisan products of each village. Figures 1 and 3 are a reflection of this; an African woman is sitting next to a vase, one of the articles she is hoping to sell that day, and an African woman with two baskets – items she is hoping to sell. Figure 2 represents an African woman is holding her baby in her arms, snuggled against her. It conveys the tenderness of the scene, with the woman's eyes on the baby in a warm, embracing posture. The graceful lines of her dress give this piece a highly distinctive style. These signature pieces can be purchased by members of The Links, Incorporated with a special discount through New York Lladro Center at 43 West 57th Street, New York, NY 10019.
