effigy

Protesters in Panama City on Friday burned effigies of Trump and Rubio.

In July 1901, an effigy hanging near the entrance of the home bore on its chest a placard reading “1/4 master” — quartermaster, the man in charge of survival basics such as food and water.

Each society spends months producing an effigy - or tableau - which are paraded through the streets and then burned at the bonfire sites.

Six different bonfire societies are holding processions through the East Sussex town and spectators will watch as huge effigies are paraded through the streets.

These modern effigies to mass production and over-consumption carry their own history, gained from both the seller in need and the tourist who purchases them.
