- This tin sign is a
handmade wall hanging done in a retablo style.
- The picture and words
are all hand painted directly onto the tin.
- This piece of folk art
asks for eternal rest for the old women to allow them to celebrate the holidays.
Mexico’s Patron Saint, Guadalupe, is in the cloud.
- The words are loosely
translated as follows:
- “Old women together ,,,
but not dead … They say the inhabitants of the town of Tultepec, at the
holidays, appear in the streets like ghosts of the women who are also celebrating
the holidays. Virgin of Guadalupe give them eternal rest, relax in peace. Thank
you Little Virgin.”
- The tin sign measures 11-1/8
inches in height x just over 8 inches across.
- Colors are bold and
bright.
- This is an original
piece of artwork, bought from the artist's family in Mexico City.
- The piece of tin used
is not rigid. There may be light and camera shadows showing in the photo of the
back of the tin.
- Because this is a
handmade piece of art on a piece of scrap metal and because of the type of art,
the artist intended irregularities, uneven edges, slight bends in the tin, some
rust, scratches and paint splotches.
