Finely worked by hand, this ex-voto heart is surmounted by a dove which symbolizes the Holy Spirit. Entirely in gold brass 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 secular know-how of the original Mayan populations but also the precious metal which was the compelling reason for the conquest of the Americas.
