This erotically charged fairy in a pose plastique is an incarnation of Eosphorus, Venus at dawn. She is wreathed in a gauze of transparent fabric, like the mists that veil the world in the morning, and bears a wand of starlight. Over the sea rises the dawning sun, casting a pale light on her golden tresses. She is resting weightless on a dew-dropped Morning Glory leaf (also know as Convolvulus or Bindweed, the seeds are considered hallucinogenic).
