Artisan Large Milagro Wooden Rose Heart Tin Nicho Box Purple
Artisan Large Milagro Wooden Rose Heart Tin Nicho Box Purple
Nicho art originated as a popular adaptation of the Roman Catholic Retablo tradition of painting patron saints on wood or tin. Unlike the large, flat panels of Retablo, Nichos are small and built in shadow box style. Within the box there is a key object or central figure for whose honor or memory the Nicho has been created. In addition to intricate painted designs, Nichos are often decorated with a variety of images and objects from religious and popular culture, especially depictions of the Virgin Mary, saints, the sacred heart, figures from Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) objects, and folk heroes.
