Description
"The statue of Asia reflects the somewhat slanted views of the period. Her feet rest on a stool supported by human skulls, symbolic of the many lives lost in Asian slavery. In one hand she holds a poppy while a statue of Buddha sits in her lap. Behind her a cross is emerging, denoting the rise of Christianity and missionary work at the time. Three miserable figures, one curled on the ground with his face to the dirt and one with his hands tied behind his back represent, in French's words "the hordes of India, and the hopelessness of the life of so many of the inhabitants." A large tiger wraps behind the throne."
