Mini metal medallions made in endless shapes and sizes, each figure has a different meaning and are usually made from alpaca or tin. For century’s through-out Latin America people of faith have used Milagros as votive offerings to mend or heal ailments, they represent a prayer for "assistance" with difficulties in their daily lives.
