FACSIMILE OF A WALL PAINTING AT THE TEMPLE OF UOYAB DEPICTING A RITE | 1966-71 | Photo by Ann Cady, 2024 | ©2026 Norman Daly Art
The 9 x 11-inch facsimile shows two sets of tall, angular golden figures, each joined at the inner 'feet' and sharing a top arc, positioned within an atmosphere of warm, vivid red hues Thought to be a representation of pairs of Llhuroscian stilt-walkers, they are intersected with patches of black and traces of earthy tones, creating a layered, textured effect.

COL.71Description
This is an expedition artist facsimile of a wall painting. Professor Schilaneder sees in this mural copy, evidence of the occasional archaism of the Middle Period (<em>Lebende Symbole,</em>p. 84). While the artist here has reverted to the traditional image of the stilt-walker the use of illusionistic devices of foreshortening and tonal gradations is typical of the latter part of the Middle Period.Artwork Details
