a black and white vintage photograph depicting a dramatic scene. a nude woman is tied to a wooden post, resembling a crucifixion. a hooded figure holds a cross aloft, seeming to preside over the event. several other women are present, some watching, some seemingly participating. a bonfire is in the foreground. the setting appears to be outdoors in a mountainous area under a cloudy sky. the overall feel of the photo is dark, dramatic, and possibly surreal or symbolic. the style suggests it may be from the 1920s or early 20th century. the photo is slightly damaged with a brown stain visible in the bottom left corner.
