    A beautiful photo of a special statue!
    Strange, she seems like a sister to the statue of our Matriarch Rachel.

    This looks very typically Victorian, a look-back to the days of the British in India. Nice tones in the shot.

    I like that she has a sword to protect her children. The monochrome is nice and fitting for her.

    She is very handsome - and more so in monochrome. I wonder who she and the children are?
