Symbolism
A pregnant or motherly woman rests on a throne full of cushions, surrounded by a field of ripe wheat and a lush forest: nature in full abundance. Her crown of twelve stars ties her to the cycles of the year, and the shield bearing the symbol of Venus speaks of love and beauty. The waterfall beside her represents life and emotions flowing freely.
