Sacred Heart Feather Mini

Description

An ex voto is often a sacred heart, Mexican sacred hearts are made of brass or painted metal decorated with various shapes and figures.

This ex voto model features feathers, a very good example of the mixture of Native American and Western cultures.

It is a perfect example of the centuries-old tradition of metalworking in Mexico, which was enriched with models and forms of religious art imported by the Spanish conquest.

Although still used as an object of votive tradition, ex votos have now acquired a real decorative dimension for the originality of their artisanal manufacture and the richness of their colors and designs.
