Another antique Peruvian detente
This is an excellent example of a handmade detente from Peru. The writing says “STOP! The heart of Jesus is with me.” Amazing embroidery on such a tiny object. You’ll notice that there is blood (represented by the embroidery threads and French knots) streaming from the heart.
