Old Peruvian Ex Voto

This is a wonderful Peruvian ex voto from 1954. The owner undoubtedly commissioned the ex voto after his family, La Familia Casas Chero, survived a car accident in Chichayo, Peru in September 1954. The silver ex voto is heavy (1.8 ounces) and would have been brought to his church as a devotional offering. The execution of this ex voto is absolutely charming with the horizon tilted and the rendering of the car and truck skillfully detailed! This is a wonderful old milagro!

Measurement: 4 1/2" x 3"
