The jade sculpture captures the image of a young Burmese girl in her traditional attire, known as "htamein". She stands barefoot, with one hand holding a clay pot while the other supports it, as if on her way to fetch water from the nearby river. Her hair is tied into a simple knot, fashioned from her own locks to avoid any messy tangles.The girl's dress is intricately carved, with unique patterns adorning the fabric. 

Despite her simple clothing and humble task, the girl's posture radiates strength and determination. Her head is held high, her eyes focused on her destination, as if nothing could deter her from her goal. The jade stone's smoothness and coolness accentuate the serenity of her expression, as if she is content with the rhythm of her daily life.

This sculpture is a tribute to the hardworking women of Burma, who carry out their duties with grace and poise, even in the most mundane of tasks.

The jade material itself is highly prized for its metaphysical properties, and has long been associated with good luck, prosperity, and harmony. As a symbol of purity and serenity, jade has been used in spiritual practices for centuries, believed to enhance inner peace and wisdom, while also promoting physical healing and emotional balance.
