Pareglio & Ayres Antiques Interiors has dated this Italian Sacred Heart Ex Voto to the 1900s.
Ex-Voto derives from the Latin phrase meaning "from a vow," and refers to a gift, donation, or offering presented by worshippers for votive purposes. It serves as an expression of gratitude toward God, the Madonna, Jesus, or a specific saint (often the one of the parish of reference) in recognition of a grace or favour received.
The beautifully aged and moulded oval frame is made of brass.
