Antique Our Lady of Guadalupe Figure in Tin & Glass NichoShes a tough one to part with! We have lots of Mexican imports in my area but rarely anything with a good amount of age. This early to mid 20th century Our Lady of Guadalupe figure is in her original glass & tin nicho. The piece has a wonderfully worn patina and is in great shape overall save for a couple foil flowers that have fallen loose from the border. You can easily open the nicho (the back slides up) should you wish to make any changes to it,

Cranes are a classic Aesthetic movement motif

The design includes a weeping willow above a lamb
