Torch

A burning hand torch. THIN ROW: the single attestation is a working artist naming his own classic panel of designs - “tigers, panthers, snakes, roses, mandalas, torch, eagles” - in an interview. Real attestation, no meaning. Note that the same list contains 'mandalas', which is routed to T11.10 and deliberately not registered from it.

    Maggie Whales interviewing the tattoo artist Mors, Tattoo Life

    Artist interview. The interviewer describes the subjects Mors tattoos as "roses, skulls, eagles, panthers… and mandalas"; Mors himself lists his classic design panel as "tigers, panthers, snakes, roses, mandalas, torch, eagles" and says "I do love animals in general: big cats, tigers, panthers, eagles, snakes, moth." A practising artist naming a working motif vocabulary in his own words - used for motif EXISTENCE and style association only, never for symbolic meaning, which the interview does not discuss.
