Description :
This is a Mexican votive prayer crucifix also known as an "ex-voto" or "retablo" which is a form of Mexican folk art. Ex-votos (short for the Latin ex voto suscepto or "from the vow made") are a type of offering left at a shrine or church as a way to give thanks to a saint for an answered prayer or a miracle. This vintage ex-voto is hand-painted on a cross-shaped piece of tin and features the Virgin of Guadalupe at the top along with scenes depicting a house on fire and a figure praying. The Spanish text on this cross translates to a prayer of thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe for saving the individual's house from burning down. These crosses are a significant part of Mexican folk art and religious tradition, often displayed in home altars or given as religious gifts. This one is vintage from 1969. Measures 12.5" H x 9.25" W. BONUS: After photographing, we found a great book on retablos which we are including in this lot. Sound Estate Company does not appraise art or guarantee authenticity.
