Indian Woman (maiden) Sculpture “Wealth” WIP

Here’s an Indian woman (maiden) sculpture in a nativity scene  that I’m currently working on.  I suppose she really isn’t a maiden because she’s given birth but she is young.

The sculpture has a way to go to be finished but I thought I’d share a few pictures of her along the way.  Please let me know what you think.  Comments and questions are encouraged. :-)

The first pic shows an Indian woman quick pencil sketch that I drew back in May ’08.  I like to sketch in the evenings and come up with new ideas that can be translated into clay.  The theme of this sculpture is close to my heart because of what she symbolizes, that of being rich with a family. Her name is “Wealth.”  To me one of the greatest things that makes a person rich is to have a child.
