Vintage Bronze Hand with Flower Milagro Pendant
Product Details
A milagro is a small votive offering, pinned to a shrine or a saint's image in thanksgiving for a favor received or in petition for one still hoped for, and the shape names the need — a leg for a leg healed, a heart for a heart in trouble. This one is an open hand, fingers downward, with a full-petalled rose rising from the wrist above a spray of long leaves.
The hand is among the most common of all the milagro forms, offered for work, for healing, for a craft or a livelihood, for hands that have to hold up a household. The rose gives it the character of a gift rather than a plea, and the relief is smooth and rounded rather than sharply cut, exactly as the colonial Spanish original was modeled. Worn as a pendant, it keeps a particular intention in view rather than a general one.
The hand with flower milagro pendant 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
