Description: Ex-voto Thankful for Curing Daughter after Accident Mexican Retablo Tin Sign Folk ArtThis ex-voto is a handmade wall hanging. This is a prayer of thanks in words and picture, all hand painted directly onto the tin.The artwork shows a girl falling from her broken rope swing. The Virgin of San Juan is in the sky with an angel floating above her. You can see a Volcano in the background and the Juanita’s village home. This is the story: (loosely translated)“It happened to Juanita when she was on the rope swing. It broke and she fell on her head. When her mother found her unconscious and bleeding from the head she got very scared and tried to lift her up. She invoked prayers to the Virgin of San Juan. In that moment she woke up and that is why her mother sent to commission this retablo with humility as a thank you. From one of your most faithful devotees. San Juan de los Lagos, Jalisco, April 30, 1950.”This is a bright and colorful retablo with wonderful detail. The tin sign measures just over 9-3/4 inches across x almost 14 inches in height.Artwork signed “X. Rodrigeo”This is an original piece of artwork, bought from the artist's family in Mexico City.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.At the top of the tree and along the top edge over the angel, there are small sections of paint missing – see photos.
