The high polish of the stone enhances its streamline form, reflecting light to accentuate the sleekness of Sedna’s silhouette. Despite the contoured form, there is an inherent gentleness conveyed through her delicate features, which are subtly crafted yet undeniably evocative. This tranquility is preserved even in the absence of the traditionally braided hair by shamans, an element often included to show Sedna's contentment.Provenance
