Carved heart – wings

Pretty ex-voto heart hand-carved in one piece in white and gold. The design is inspired by the Sagrado Corazon (Sacred Heart) and other folk art from Mexico.
Very popular in Guatemala, we find these ex-voto hearts hung on the walls of houses, churches, businesses also as a good luck charm and protection of homes.
The artisan puts into the manufacture of this entirely handmade ex-voto heart all the faith and devotion he feels for religious representations moved outside of churches.
Thanks to the craftsmanship, each piece is unique.
Hole on the back for easy wall mounting.
