Description

Vintage Our Lady of Guadalupe Clay Folk Art Plaque w/ Star Halo

Charming vintage Our Lady of Guadalupe clay wall plaque, likely Mexican folk art, featuring a beautifully sculpted and hand-painted depiction of the revered Marian figure. The figure appears in traditional iconography with a pink robe accented by raised gold floral details and a dark mantle dotted with white stars. Behind her is a radiant yellow and red sunburst halo, surrounded by dimensional gold-painted stars mounted on wire stems, creating a striking devotional display.

Crafted from molded clay or terracotta and finished with vibrant hand-applied paint, the piece reflects the expressive style often seen in traditional Mexican religious folk art. The dimensional construction and radiant star halo give it strong visual presence, making it ideal for a home altar, wall display, or folk art collection.

Condition:
Good vintage condition with light wear consistent with age. Minor surface wear and small paint imperfections are present. The reverse shows natural clay with a visible hairline crack that does not appear to affect structural stability. The wire-mounted halo stars remain attached and intact. Please review photos for details.

Dimensions:
Height x Width x Depth: 7 1/2 x 4 1/4 x 2 inches
