Vintage Ex voto (2) - Silverplated - 1950-1960 - Ex Voto of Hand and Leg

Two ex votos depicting a hand and a leg. In copper and/or brass sheet, silver-plated. They are part of a collection. Surely of Campanian or Neapolitan origin. With depictions of body parts, people would ask for a grace or give thanks if it had been granted, for the healing of that body part. Neapolitan ex votos were often accompanied by the acronym MVM Mamma Vita Mia, where mamma stands for Madonna. The last photo is the back of the objects.

Estimate:$2.24
