The skirt is patterned with incised scallops and rows of dots, the faces given with the barest marks, the relief flat and unhurried in the manner of Andean folk metalwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA milagro is a votive offering, left at a shrine in thanks for a favor received or in petition for one still hoped for, and its shape states the intention plainly. This one is the offering of a family: for a child's health, for a safe birth, for a household kept together. Mother and child is also the oldest Christian image there is, and the woman who left the original at a shrine in the Andes was setting her own household inside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe milagro was faithfully reproduced from an antique original found in Ecuador and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves its vintage character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtisan-cast from an antique original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Equatoria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48943651225785,"sku":"3c3-84-B","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-84-B.png?v=1787688784","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-mother-and-child-milagro-ecuador","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
