Wax votive

 

    

Ever since I first saw examples of anatomical votives,
I was attracted to the aesthetics of these collections of objects left at church altars and intrigued by the concept.

After I had a mastectomy, I started looking out for breast shaped votives.
This wax specimen from Portugal was given to me by friends…Fatima’s Breast.
