My parents bought a statue at a little market in Aruba.
There, it is customary to carry on the tradition of carving.
Ours is a black lady wearing a turban on her head with her
eyes closed. She is made out of mahogany. She looks so
peaceful that we wonder if she isn't a goddess to the
people in Aruba.
