Tin -plated iron or steel ex-voto representing the back side of the torso, perhaps in aid of the many ailments for which the back is prone. The ex-voto is embossed and stippled on a rectangular plaque bordered with tiny raised bumps. The image is threaded at the top with a scrap of red ribbon. An ex-voto is an object offered to a deity or divinity as a gift, vow, or token of thanks. Circa 1948 to late 1970s, 4 ¼ x 6 ¼ inches.
