Vintage Bronze Flaming Heart Milagro, Mexico
Product Details
A milagro is a small votive offering, left at a shrine or pinned to a saint's image in thanks for a favor received or in petition for one still hoped for, and its shape declares the intention. The heart is the most eloquent of them all — offered for love, for grief, for illness, for a person carried in prayer — and here it is crowned with a tall spray of flames.
The modeling is generous: a full, swelling lower half left smooth, and across the upper half a broad band of fine stippling and hatching that catches the antiqued finish. Five points of flame rise above. In Mexico, where this form has been made and offered for centuries, the flaming heart speaks of a love that burns rather than merely endures, the heart given over entirely and without conditions. Worn as a pendant, it keeps that intention where you can feel it.
The flaming heart milagro was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves the piece's vintage character.
- Made in the USA
- Artisan-cast from an antique original
- Finished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.
- Buy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace
- Add a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear
- Arrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box
