$12.50
This set of 4 embroidered Detente con Santo honors a beautiful and time-honored folk-art devotional tradition. Each miniature piece features a saint’s image on both sides, framed by rich satin embroidery and gold braid, with a ribbon loop for wearing, hanging, or display.
Traditionally, a detente is worn—often attached with a safety pin through the ribbon loop—as an outward expression of devotion and a request for a particular saint’s protection and guidance. Today, detentes are also treasured as meaningful elements for home shrines, altars, reliquaries, assemblage art, and sacred craft projects.
These small devotional pieces come in a variety of shapes, adding to their charm and authenticity. Shapes may include heart, oval, round, rectangular, or shrine-shaped, reflecting the diversity of this beloved folk-art form.
