Description

Mexican Folk Art "Seguro Espiritual" Retablo – 13" x 21", Tin & Wood

This handcrafted Mexican folk art retablo, titled Seguro Espiritual (Spiritual Insurance), is a vibrant and functional piece blending religious devotion with humor. Designed in the shape of a small church façade, it features seven saints and the Virgin of Guadalupe, each associated with specific types of protection—from love and business success to home safety and travel.

Hand-painted on tin and wood, this piece is adorned with colorful floral details, a cross at the top, and seven small tealight candle holders—one in front of each saint. These holders allow for devotional candle lighting, enhancing the spiritual significance of the artwork. The back includes labeled compartments explaining each saint's role, adding depth to its symbolic meaning.

Size: 13" x 21"

Condition: Good overall, with minor wear consistent with handmade folk art. The colors remain vibrant, the structure is intact, and the candle holders are functional.

A wonderful conversation piece that merges faith, tradition, and artistry—perfect for collectors and enthusiasts of Mexican religious folk art.
