Mexican Artisan Crafted Tin Wall Mirror Accented with Red, "Image of My Heart"
From Oaxaca, Mexico, comes this artisan-crafted tin wall mirror from Aida and Cristino Lavariega. Flaming hearts are common subjects for handicrafts produced by artisans in Oaxaca. Referred to as milagros, or "miracles," these images, usually made from some type of metal, were often left as offerings for a particular saint as a testament that a certain prayed-for miracle had taken place. This milagro is decorative and functions as a heart-shaped frame for a mirror. Crafted using repoussé techniques, the embossed frame is painted by hand in a vibrant red color.

"Little tin box"





I received this little tin box today and I am very pleased. I plan to give it to my grand-daughter as a gift. It is small, well made and dainty for her to be able to store a piece of jewelry or other item. Thank you very much.
