A cool set of four risque / taboo / humorous "Underworld" ex-votos / retablos attributed to Alfredo Vilchis, circa 2010. A provocative and vibrantly transgressive collectio of contemporary Mexican ex-votos (retablos), attributed to the legendary "neighborhood artist" of Mexico City, Alfredo Vilchis Roque. This quartet serves as a masterclass in the "New Retablo" movement, where the centuries-old tradition of Catholic gratitude is subverted to document the gritty, scandalous, and darkly comedic "miracles" of the urban fringe. Each piece is in a "deliberate distressed condition" to mimic the weathered look of 19th-century antiques, and each measure approximately 9.5"W x 6"H. Moving far beyond traditional prayers for health, these works depict the raw and often taboo intersections of desire, mishaps, and divine intervention. The collection features: -The Courtesan’s Epiphany: A dramatic scene of a sex worker who, after surviving a life-threatening allergic reaction to a client's semen, offers infinite thanks to Saint Martha and vows to leave her trade forever. -The Forbidden Cousin: A man named S.F. who celebrates his persistent (and successful) pursuit of his cousin into the bedroom, thanking Saint Jude Thaddeus for their ultimate "happiness." -The Strawberry Jam Incident: A near-fatal mishap involving José Ramos...

Antique Indo-Persian Tinned Copper Jar Hand-Engraved Islamic Metalwork, c. 1900 A striking example of early 20th-century Indo-Persian artistry, this antique lidded jar is handcrafted from heavy tinned copper in the traditional Ghalamzani style—an ancient Persian technique of fine metal engraving. The bulbous body, slender neck, and flared lid are richly decorated with intricate floral, geometric, and arabesque motifs, along with medallions featuring musicians and couples, evoking Mughal and Islamic influences. The surface is intricately decorated with detailed floral, geometric, and calligraphic motifs, reflecting deep influences from Mughal design and Islamic decorative arts. The embossed and incised patterns shimmer over the darkened silver-toned tinned finish, catching the light with elegant shadows and reflections. The dark patina enhances the silver-toned tin finish, lending depth and contrast to the detailed repoussé and chased designs. A rare and refined collector’s piece, this jar captures the elegance and spiritual symbolism of Islamic decorative arts. Design Highlights: * Material: Tinned copper with blackened silver finish * Technique: Hand-engraved and repoussé (Ghalamzani / Qalamzani) * Motifs: Intricate floral vines, arabesques, Islamic geometry, and mythological scenes. * Base: Beautifully detailed brass with Mughal-style engravings Dimensions: * Total Height (with lid): approx. 18.5" * Width: approx. 7.5" * Lid Height: approx. 9" * Mouth Opening: approx. 2.75" This antique Persian vessel...
