The sculpture was carved out of marble. The figure represented is Proserpine, the Roman goddess of spring. She is shown above the shoulder, and the sculpture&#8217;s base is decorated with acanthus leaves. The artist originally had the goddess holding a basket of flowers, but this was changed to make carving easier for multiple duplicates of the sculpture. The acanthus leaves represent rebirth and abundance, while Proserpine represents fertility, rebirth and new beginnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>QingBai Ware Bowl and Teapot<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2026\/03\/25145236\/T2013.019.112v03.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4131 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2026\/03\/25145236\/T2013.019.112v03.jpg 950w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2026\/03\/25145236\/T2013.019.112v03-300x249.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2026\/03\/25145236\/T2013.019.112v03-768x637.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><em>QingBai Ware Bowl<\/em>, 960-1279, artist unknown, formed, fired and glazed porcelain, 2 1\/4 in.

The pose the dancer was captured in was meant to represent the dynamic way the vines grow. This sculpture symbolizes growth and expression.

The flowers surrounding the piece consist of: tulips, roses, lilies, daffodils, cornflowers, carnations, hyacinths and forget-me-nots.
