At Sichuan Museum, an Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220) nursing pottery figurine preserves a moment of maternal love from about 2,000 years ago. The mother sits with a gentle smile, holding her baby in a quiet, tender embrace. Time may blur the features, but never the affection. On Mother's Day, it reminds us that love transcends time.
