A stained wooden hand covered with silver-toned milagros. This smaller hand can hang on the wall, stand on its own or lie flat. Each collection of pot metal milagros decorating the hand, is one of a kind. The word "milagro" means "miracle" and they are small religious charms that people usually nail onto sacred objects, pin on clothing of santos or hang with little red ribbons from altars and shrines. These were nailed in a beautiful way onto the wooden hand. Are you curious about hands in Mexican folk art?
