St. Martin of Tours Hand Painted Cross & Tin Nicho – Folk Art
A delightful pair of devotional folk art pieces, each celebrating Saint Martin of Tours, the beloved 4th-century soldier-turned-bishop known for his humility and compassion. The first is a hand-painted wooden wall cross, decorated in warm earthy tones with lively patterns. At its center, behind glass, is an image of Saint Martin, giving the piece an intimate and reverent charm.
The second is a pressed tin nicho shrine, crafted with hand-punched detailing and a pierced heart crest, accented by a vibrant rose-patterned border. Inside, Saint Martin is shown on horseback in his most famous act — sharing his cloak with a beggar — a symbol of kindness that has inspired centuries of devotion. Designed for wall display or freestanding use, it brings both beauty and meaning to any space.
Together, these works capture the warmth of traditional Mexican folk artistry while honoring one of Christianity’s most enduring saints — a charming addition for collectors or those seeking inspiration in their home.
