Votive, Penitent Figure (Early Image of Tal-Hax)
VOTIVE. PENITENT FIGURE | circa 1966-71 | Photo by Ann Cady, 2024 | ©2026 Norman Daly Art
The photo depicts an intricately designed, aged wooden artifact with a greenish and brown patina, featuring a uniquely curved and textured body, and topped with a wide, rounded 'stopper' reminiscent of a beret; a rusted chain is wrapped around the neck of the figure, enhancing its narrative mystery. The artifact is set against a plain, dark background that contrasts with and highlights the details and texture of the figure.
