Reproduction Retablo on Steel Panel in Hand-Carved Pine Wood Frame
This is a reproduction of a traditional Mexican retablo ex-voto, printed on a steel panel and framed in a beautifully hand-carved solid pine wood frame. The artwork depicts a wedding procession in front of a church, with an inscription expressing gratitude to San Antonio for a long-awaited marriage proposal after 12 years of courtship. The text reads:
"Dolores Mejía da a San Antonio, _______ porque su novio Romualdo Muñoz por fin le propuso matrimonio después de 12 años de noviazgo y se casaron en la ______ de Santa Rosa."
The frame features intricate floral and leaf carvings, complementing the folk-art aesthetic of the piece. The steel panel has aged patina, with visible rust, particularly in the inscription area.

- Small chip on the lower panel.
