This ex-voto is hand-made and painted in Mexico, in accordance with the ancestral techniques of repelled metal, typical of the country's craftsmanship.

A symbol of Mexican culture, the ex-voto is traditionally an offering made to a divinity in support of a request formulated or as a sign of recognition for a vow.

Today, it is no longer confined to this religious field and has acquired a true reputation in popular art as in decoration, for its colorful, original and very aesthetic side.

These objects can take on all kinds of appearances: personal effects, paintings, plates, engravings, wax sculptures, medallions, or like this in the form of heart, reference both to the organ and to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
