Wooden Framed Retablo “A Brocade Heart” 26669

A 13” tall hand-painted and framed wooden retablo with a center image “A Brocade Heart.”

Retablos are typically painted depictions of important religious icons 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.

Some retablos, though, depict everyday occurrences and this particular retablo depicts a full-of-color brocade heart that is all gussied up and ready to love. An important message and a thoughtful gift to someone who needs inspiration.

Bold colors were used on this hand-crafted folk art piece including royal blue, yellow, burgundy, green, turquoise and gold.

It measures 13” in height, 6” in width and is ready to hang.

Hand-crafted in Mexico
