Ex-voto heart with two purple doves

Description

Sacred heart in repoussé metal, handmade in Mexico, for use as a wall decoration or good luck charm. Votive offerings, emblematic objects of Mexican culture, take their name from the expression “according to the wish” and are essential in the country’s religious and cultural practices. These decorative objects are often hung on the walls of churches, homes, or businesses, bringing protection and luck to those who possess them. The votive offering frequently takes the form of a sacred heart, often adorned with vibrant colors and elaborate designs. It is thanks to the fusion of Native American and Western cultures that Mexican votive offerings are distinguished by their wide variety of shapes and colors, testifying to the richness and diversity of Mexican crafts and beliefs.
