This retablo is a handmade painting – an original piece of Mexican folk art. The artist tells a story of thanks in words and picture. It is all hand painted directly onto the tin.

The artist tells the following story: (some words are illegible - I tried my best)

Este acontecimiento le paso el señor anacleto perales el dia 18 de enero ? Caldo para ? En el puente de la calle del año de ferrer. Pero aclamo con veraz de su corazon al santo niñito de atocha de este santuario guien por su aravilloso portenta le prometi ? Averlo y regala este retablo pero averme zacado de la noche zotano puente

The tin sign measures just about 10 inches across x 14.125 inches in height.

This is an original piece of artwork, bought from the artist's representative in Mexico. The date of creation is not known as the artists who do this type of work sometimes use a historic date to show context for the scene created. Sometimes the artists and their families hold on to works for many years before making them available for sale so it is impossible to say when it was created. Sometimes they make available pieces as they are created.

The artist intended irregularities, uneven edges, slight bends in the tin, some tears, rust, scratches and paint splotches.

Will be packaged with extreme care.
