Large Milagro Heart

Make a wish. Stay open to something wonderful.

A large heart made from embossed tin, hand-painted in Oaxaca, Mexico. A beautiful object to hang on the wall — and a symbol with a story behind it.

Milagro is the Spanish word for miracle. These small votive objects have a long tradition in Mexico and other parts of Latin America. Traditionally, metal charms in different shapes were offered at churches and shrines as symbols of prayers, hopes or gratitude.

The heart is one of the most recognisable Milagro motifs, often connected with matters of love and the heart.

Today, you might give it a different meaning. Hang it somewhere special, give it to someone you love, or simply choose it because it caught your eye.

It comes with a beautifully illustrated, double-sided card telling the story of Milagros.
