Sacred heart

This sacred heart is handcarved in Swiss pine and decorated according to the Florentine tradition with oxidized silver leaf. In the Italian tradition pieces like this one are often used as ex-voto which is a thanks offering to the Virgin Mary or a Saint for a grace received. Made by Castorina in different sizes and finishes, it is possible to personalise the heart with two initials.
