Virgen pared stoup
The figures of the Virgin of Guadalupe closely relate to the event of December 9, 1531, when, according to accounts, the Virgin appeared to Juan Diego, a native of Cuauhtitlan. The apparition of the Virgin requested that a church be built on the hill of Tepeyaca. This event had a great impact on Mexicans, and to this day, every year twenty million people from all over the world make a pilgrimage to the Virgin of Guadalupa. The image of the Virgin of Guadalupas is a frequently used motif in decorative elements, including those of a religious nature. It is also worth mentioning that Our Lady of Guadalupá is the patron saint of the Americas. The prototype for all the statues and paintings depicting the Virgin of Guadalupas is an image made on agave cloth, showing the Virgin as a standing figure, girded with a sash, decorated with flowers.

Figurines made of polychrome ceramics
The production of polychrome pottery has been known since before the Spanish conquest in the 16th century. Because of the place of manufacture, La Puerta de la Mixteca, polychrome pottery is often called Mixtec. It is characterized by the artist's great attention to detail, deep color saturation and great variety of design. Mixtec products were most often ordered in reference to religious traditions and customs, from artisans usually hailing from a single family, the Castillo. Decorations from Izúcar de Matamoros are highly valued products, and the signature "montesino" guarantees handmade by a Mexican artisan.
