Centered by a heart as well as a lively green cactus, this ceramic wall cross is a beautiful way to express your faith. The Contreras Family crafts the cross in the traditional majolica style, and paints it by hand with colorful glazes.

This charming wall cross from the Contreras Family is made of ceramic and painted by hand in the time-honored majolica style. The cross features a dainty folk art Maria doll in colorful costume against a background of emerald green.

The charming doll originated in Mexico City when many Otomi and Mazahua people migrated to the capital in the 1970s. Due to their unique traditional clothing, the women became known as "Marias." An educational program was established for them and artist Diego Rivera's daughter, Guadalupe Rivera Marin, encouraged crafting these popular rag dolls as a way to generate income in the 1980s. Artisan women took the idea home to their Mazahua and Otomi towns and the dolls became popular throughout Mexico and abroad.

Every house element can be transformed into a traditional accent with the help of Juana Ponce and her fascinating creativity.
