Common Challenges
Human effigies face challenges in durability and weather resistance. Traditional materials like straw and wood are susceptible to decay and damage by elements. This hampers their effectiveness and lifespan in rituals and representations.
Innovative Solutions
To enhance durability, advanced materials like fiberglass and synthetic fabrics offer superior resistance to moisture, decay, and pests. They can withstand harsh conditions, extending the life of effigies. Additionally, waterproof coatings and UV-resistant treatments protect them from weathering, ensuring longevity and maintaining their symbolic significance.
