Temple Votive
TEMPLE VOTIVE | circa 1974-1983 | Photo by Ann Cady, 2024 | ©2026 Norman Daly Art
Though it is generally accepted that Llhuroscian pilgrims enshrined erotic votives at the Temple of Trolydos, as a protection against impotence, the indifferent workmanship and hackneyed imagery of these plentiful objects suggest that some classes, perhaps the obese, elderly wine merchants, regarded the votives as mere nostrums.
