And here is some additional information on why the holes were around the edges: The holes around the tin in Spanish colonial retablos serve a specific purpose. These retablos are small oil paintings, typically done on tin, by folk artists with minimal artistic training. The Spanish word “retablo” is derived from “retro-tabulum,” meaning “behind the table,” referring to the large screens placed behind altars in European medieval churches. In Mexico, retablos were often used as part of home altars. The holes in the tin were intentional and allowed these paintings to be hung or attached to walls. They were especially popular in states like San Luis Potosí, Zacatecas, Guanajuato, Querétaro, Jalisco, and Michoacan. The tradition of retablo painting on tin flourished from the 1820s to the 1920s, with the most prolific period being from 1850 to 1900. These devotional paintings depicted saints and religious figures, providing a connection to spirituality within households. Thank you for shopping my auctions and listings on Ebay.
