Artisan Story

Origins. This carved stone niche was removed from a deteriorating stone building in Morelia, Michoacan Mexico. During the 17th century, solid stone retablos such as this one were often built into the outer walls of churches and monasteries. Because they are of solid stone and not flammable, candles would be lit and placed in or on these ledges and retablos providing light for participants ahead of evening mass.
