Ex voto (2) - .800 silver

2 Ex-Voto votive offerings – head profiles of man & woman – 1x silver (hallmarked) – religious folk art – 20th century.

A rare set of two religious ex-voto offerings in the form of male and female head profiles, likely originating from Southern Europe (Italy/Spain).

These finely crafted relief pieces feature expressive stylized faces with detailed line work. Both items have suspension loops on the back, typical for devotional objects that were hung in churches or shrines.

One piece is hallmarked “800” and made of silver, while the other is made of silver-plated metal.

Anatomical ex-votos such as these were traditionally offered in gratitude or as prayers for healing.
