Mexican Folk Art Sacred Heart with 55 Milagros – Wall Hanging
Hand-carved wooden Sacred Heart wall hanging from Mexico, richly decorated with 55 attached metal milagros (ex-votos). Each small charm represents prayers, gratitude, or petitions for healing, including symbolic figures, animals, crosses, and objects from daily life. The heart is painted black and crowned with a carved wooden flame, creating a bold and meaningful design.
Milagro hearts are a deeply rooted devotional tradition in Mexican folk art, often used as votive offerings of faith and protection. At the same time, they are prized by collectors for their craftsmanship and cultural resonance. This example combines devotional significance with striking visual appeal, making it both a spiritual object and an exceptional display piece.
