Characteristic of the artist's more rough hewn style of the mid 1970s, this small-scale work shows a mother in serene repose as she supports two infants on what appears to be a monumental lap. Despite Tasseor's minimalistic carving style, the work is a moving interpretation of the eternal and unerring maternal love.
