Hand-Carved/Painted Secular Folk Art Retablo “A Pierced Heart” 29360

A 12.5” tall hand-painted and framed wooden retablo with a center image of a robust heart pierced by an arrow.

Retablos are painted depictions of important religious icons or folk stories and are found throughout the Americas as well as Europe.  Nichos are wooden frames or boxes – much like a shadow box – which is used to either frame an iconic image or to serve as a mini-altar.

Our nicho-style retablo is carved from wood with a one-inch deep frame just deep enough to hold tiny offerings such as Milagros, photos or religious medals.

The interior of this retablo features a hand-painted secular (non-religious) depiction of an arrow-pierced heart. 

It measures 12.5” in height, 6” in width and is ready to hang. 

Hand-crafted in Mexico.
