Mexican Tin Milagros - Small Angel Mirror Ex Voto

This angel ex voto is handcrafted from tin in Oaxaca, Mexico, with a small mirror set into the figure. It is supplied by Sedona Spirit, who work directly with the artisans who make their pieces.

An ex voto is an offering made in fulfilment of a vow, and in Mexico the word covers both painted thanks and small tin charms left at shrines. Angels are among the most common figures in that tradition, alongside hearts, hands and crosses.

Looking After a Tin Ex Voto

Hang the ex voto indoors and away from steam, as damp will tarnish the tin and cloud the mirror. A soft, dry cloth is enough to dust it, and the glass can be polished with a barely damp cloth and dried at once.

Material: tin, mirror glass
