Ex-voto crown of flowers natural metal color

Finely worked by hand, this ex-voto heart is surrounded by a fine and detailed wreath of flowers. Entirely in natural metal with a thickness of 0.3mm, this heart is cut out 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. Dimensions: 16cmx11cm. Sold by 4 units.
