Description

Mexican Santo Niño de Atocha Tin Nicho Frame

Vintage Mexican nicho wall hanging featuring a devotional image of Santo Niño de Atocha, seated and holding his traditional attributes. The image is set behind glass and surrounded by decorative panels, while the frame itself showcases reverse-painted glass accents in rich gold tones with red floral motifs. The outer structure is crafted from pressed steel (hojalata), highlighted by a scalloped crest and side rosettes that give it a bold, traditional folk art presence.

A classic example of Mexican religious folk art, this piece blends printed imagery with handcrafted metalwork and painted glass. Ideal for collectors or as a meaningful decorative wall accent.

Condition:
In good vintage condition, as shown. The pressed steel frame shows oxidation, patina, and surface wear consistent with age. Some residue and wear are visible along the edges and verso. The glass and central image remain intact with minor age-related wear.

Dimensions:
17 x 13.75 x 1.25 inches.
