The Goddess at "Za"

Another one from my Tanith Lee series in my 1981 sketchbook journal. The main character, still wearing her mask to hide her alien face, marches in a procession of ladies in waiting, also wearing masks. The name of the kingdom is "Za." The breast-baring halter tops and black velvet skirts were described by the author. The main character has some special powers which result in her being considered a goddess. But she's really an alien who is ultimately rescued by her people who  visit her barbaric world in a spaceship and carry her back to her own people. At least I think that's how the story goes, it's been a while since I read it.

"The Goddess at Za" is ink and watercolor on sketchbook page, about 3 1/2" x 5 1/2", January 1981. I seem to be currently picking up my habit from 1981 of making tiny pictures.
