The statue had pearl-tipped silver wires radiating from the center of its back making it look as if it were in the middle of a snow storm. Or, perhaps it was the snow storm. And the earrings? Nude men dangled by rope-lashed wrists from the goddess's earlobes. Creepy. Leila touched the emerald pendant hanging from her neck on a gold chain and resting in the valley between her breasts, then let her gaze travel down the colorful, gilt-trimmed statue to the gemstones scattered on the pedestal.
