About the Item

A beautiful 19th-century Spanish Colonial Mexican Folk Art ex-voto retablo lámina painting featuring an unknown Spanish Roman Catholic Saint. The work is hand-painted on metal (likely tin). Ex-votos and retablos are often placed above the altars in churches or family shrines as votive offerings made in the form of religious pictures/images typically portraying Christ and/or the Christian saints. A fantastic abstract, highly engaging, decrepit, beautiful piece with clear character and a wonderful patina acquired with age. Would make for a great addition to any Mexican Folk Art collection or eye-catching stand-alone accent work in about any setting once displayed and/or framed. Dimensions: 8.25" high, 6.5" wide
