Temple Votive

TEMPLE VOTIVE | circa 1974-1983 | Photo by Ann Cady, 2024 | ©2026 Norman Daly Art: A rustic, weathered, double-pedestal form with an erect phallic shape on top, exhibiting signs of rust and oxidation; the top layer is somewhat smaller compared to the base, which rests on a flat surface; together they create a geometric form with clearly visible, irregular patches of corrosion, providing a textured appearance against the plain, neutral backdrop. The phallic shape suggests its use as a votive in a temple, perhaps the Temple of Phallus at Trolydos.
