SHEET METAL WORK / ITSMO DE TEHUANTEPEC, OAXACA

The miracles are small figures like arms, legs and eyes that are used as offerings to ask for a miracle and / or as thanks for something; generally they are hung in the churches in an altarpiece or in the dresses of some saint.

Figures are made of tin or brass made with tools such as steel blades, chisels, and welding equipment.This tradition was born in Mexico on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in the 19th century.
