QR Code Link to This Post
A metallic element, possibly a bottle cap, is centrally located where the bars intersect, and a smaller, round charm or bead is affixed to it. Additional wires, seemingly forming a heart shape, frame the top half of the cross, extending outwards from the intersection. The cross also features several small, metal charms, known as Milagritos, which are often used in Mexican folk art and represent prayers, wishes, or gratitude for blessings received. The colorful wooden elements, wire wrapping, beads, and milagritos all contribute to the overall folk art aesthetic of the piece.
"Milagrito" is a term that can refer to "little miracles" in Spanish, often associated with small, hand-crafted metal charms used in folk art and spirituality to express gratitude, offer prayers, or seek blessings and protection. The cross in the image, with its decorative elements and potential symbolic meaning, could be interpreted as a form of "Milagrito" or a representation of faith and hope.
Beautiful wall hanging piece. You could mount it on your wall or use it as a paper weight on your office desk. A symbol of the Love of Christ! A Christian Cross. Perfect gift for the church or Jesus enthusiast in your life. Great collectible decoration or toy. Look for the measuring tape for scale and pictures for condition. Perfect gift.
