Ex-voto metal dove heart - Natural metal

Finely crafted by hand, this ex-voto heart is topped with a dove which symbolizes the Holy Spirit. Entirely made of natural metal with a thickness of 0.3mm, this heart is cut and then embossed by hand by the artisan manufacturer. It is a perfect example of the centuries-old tradition of metalworking in Mexico, which was enriched by models and forms of religious art imported by the Spanish conquest. Natural color is the original color of the Mexican votive offering tradition, which has since evolved into the richly colored designs we are also familiar with. Dimensions 17 × 14 × .5 cm. Sold by 4 units.
