描述
the serene figure standing barefoot on a lotus pod among waves, dressed in long flowing robes with a gentle sway to one side, with down-cast eyes and a serene smile, her finely combed hair pulled up in a high chignon covered with a veil falling over her shoulders and bejeweled torso, holding an amphora vase in her left hand near her chest, her right hand raised grasping a branch of peaches, the rich translucent apple-green stone accented with silvery undertones and natural russet inclusions
