Description

Religious charm made from a picture of the 'Nino of Atocha' wrapped in plastic. The picture is pasted onto the centre of a red paper-covered rectangle of wood and a variety of large and small seeds and garlic cloves pasted onto the red border create a colourful frame in yellow, red, brown, black and white. Three gold coloured coins and two long brown seeds are stuck to a horse shoe wrapped in red ribbon that sits on top of the picture like an arch.
