Vintage Bronze Sleeping Child Milagro
Product Details
The Vintage Bronze Sleeping Child Milagro shows a child lying asleep on its side, the head turned, one arm drawn up and the legs slightly bent. The whole figure is only half an inch across and modelled with a soft roughness that keeps the feeling of the hand that made the first one.
A milagro is a small cast token brought to a shrine with a prayer and pinned to a statue or an altar cloth, either as a petition or in thanks for one already granted. Each one stands for the thing asked about, which is why the tradition produced so many small arms, legs, hearts and animals, and why a sleeping child is among the tenderest of them all. It is carried for a child's health, for rest, for a safe night, and sometimes in memory. Worn as a charm it sits easily among other small pieces.
The milagro was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves its 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
