Doing their part to preserve the tinsmithing tradition of Oaxaca, Mexican artisans Aida and Cristino Lavariega present this repoussé-style tin wall mirror crafted by hand. Flaming hearts are common subjects for handicrafts produced by Oaxacan artisans. Referred to as milagros, or "miracles," these images crafted in various materials were often left as offerings for a particular saint as a testament that a certain prayed-for miracle had taken place. Embellished with small blossoms, the heart-shaped frame houses a mirror surrounded by a thin red border and topped with vivid red flames.

"love the handmade detail and red color"
Received this mirror in a timely manner and it was packed very well.You can see Aida and Cristinos level of quality and detail in this handmade piece. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars, is that it was a lot smaller than I had thought.Looking forward to hanging in my apartment - on my artists wall!Happy to know that I am supporting local aristans!
