Ressurection of the Bulb Guardian

Bulb Guardian part II

This is the new Bulb Guardian, I made it while drawing on mental images of the original, but after doing a bit of research I found the name and image of the original, it was titled Bulb Guardian.
There were several aspects from four years ago that I wanted to maintain:

1. The hand built brick wall which joins the wheel thrown with the handbuilt.

2. The bulbous form (I had forgotten it was titled bulb guardian at the time but knew I wanted it round!)

3. The figure sitting on the edge of the pot (not in it like the current goddesses)

4. A pushed in pot but not collapsed (more of an indentation not a total profile shift)

5. The figures arms turn into vines/branches (she is a plant-daphne)

The new one changes sexual overtones from direct to indirect, or a maturation of suggestion.  The figure is more rotund and in alignment with the shape of the pot, she is "rooted" in this indention of the pot, anchoring herself in.  The figure is not nude anymore so is de-sexualized, (there aren't even breasts) the  flower buds and hanging fruits instead are suggestive and phallic so for me the newer one is much more "sexy".  Finally the new symbols of the mouse, ruins, and quetzal have been added as a "new perspective" when viewed from the back.
Here are some images of the original, I'm very happy thus far with the new version, I would also like a silvery/blue/black/yellow shiny coat when its all said and done.
