Small Tin Heart with Wings
Product details
A traditional Mexican folk art heart made from hand-beaten tin is often referred to as a "Corazón de metal" or "Corazón de hojalata". These vibrant, symbolic pieces are frequently used in Mexican religious and cultural contexts, particularly around celebrations like Dia de los Muertos and Fiestas Patrias, as well as in everyday decorative objects.
The heart itself is typically crafted from thin sheets of tin that are carefully hammered into shape. The artist's technique involves hand-beating the metal, giving it a textured surface, with intricate patterns or embossed details embracing the main heart.
This small red heart has white wings and gold flame atop the heart.
