Finely worked by hand, this ex-voto heart is lined with richly detailed adornments inspired by the era of Spanish colonization. Entirely in gold brass with a thickness of 0.3mm, it 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 with models and forms of religious art imported by the Spanish conquest.
The gold color recalls the working know-how of this metal by the original Mayan populations but also the precious metal which was the compelling reason for the conquest of the Americas. Sold by 3 units. Dimensions 16.5×.01×23cm
