Miniature color image of the Virgin Mary, a reproduction of the popular Mexican lithograph that portrays an artist's drawing of the statue of Mater Dolorosa in the church on Monte Calvario in Jerusalem. It's framed with hand-hammered and folded tinplate and vintage paper lace. Findings are also reclaimed from vintage scrap from the long-neglected storage of a retired lampmaker, which is where the old chandelier crystal comes from, as well (and it *is* crystal, not glass).

Antique gold glaze elevates the tinplate, tiny metal "gems" and a dusting of microglitter provid a hint of shine, and the tea-dyed paper lace, which is at least 20 years old, has been sealed for durability.

Tinplate body is 2.5" high by 1.5" wide. Accounting for the lace and the crystal (but ignoring the cord for hanging), the whole piece is just over 4" high and 2.25" wide.

While this and all my tinplate work is filed/sanded carefully to remove sharp protrusions and corners, you should still keep in mind what it's made of and thus keep it away from children or pets.

Folks use these as altar or household art, Christmas tree ornaments, gifts, and sometimes even jewelry. I love to do custom work, so message me if you have an idea for a variation you'd like to see.

HANDLING TIMES: Please note published handling times, which start at 5-10 business days; will be longer for large, customized, and international orders; and are estimates only.

Among other things, I live in the middle of nowhere and I have to expect time-sucking delays as par for the course, like the internet going down 'cause a cow broke the line, stuff like that.

LEGALESE:  As required by law, all items are sold as curios to preserve and teach the traditions of folklore and popular religion. I don't sell anything I don't use myself, though, and quite a few customers over the years have sworn by my traditional formulas since I started selling them in 2002.
