Nichos have been used for centuries in Europe and Latin American countries as places to put religious statues and images. This is a beautifully painted vintage retablo / nicho frame. This piece of folk art features Saint Diego. The painted frame is primarily in deep red with gold floral embellishment. The "nicho" (the inside of the frame) features St Diego, painted with lots of earth and gold tones and done on a piece of canvas that is nailed to the back of the wood frame. This piece of folk art is done in a primitive style. The frame measures 8-3/4 inches across x 15 inches in height. You can see where various pieces of wood were glued together to create the frame. Ready for hanging.
