Ex-voto heart with colored doves

Description

Sacred heart in repoussé metal handmade in Mexico, to be used as a wall decoration or lucky charm. Ex-votos, emblematic objects of Mexican culture, take their name from the expression “according to the wish” and are essential in the religious and cultural practices of the country. These decorative objects are often hung on the walls of churches, homes or businesses, bringing protection and luck to those who possess them. The ex-voto frequently takes the form of a sacred heart, often decorated with bright colors and elaborate designs. It is thanks to the fusion of Indian and Western cultures that Mexican ex-votos are distinguished by their great variety of shapes and colors, testifying to the richness and diversity of Mexican crafts and beliefs.
