Heart ex-voto flowers

Description

Finely crafted by hand, this ex-voto heart is surrounded by a fine and detailed crown of flowers. 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 metalwork in Mexico, which was enriched by models and forms of religious art imported by the Spanish conquest.

The gold color recalls the know-how of working this metal by the original Mayan populations but also the precious metal which was the compelling reason for the conquest of the Americas. Dimensions: 16cmx11cm.
