Hollow Wax Foot

At Portugal’s major religious shrines, one of the things you can do to save/fix yourself, or a loved one, is to toss a wax depiction of the affected area into a gigantic cauldron as a fulfilment of a vow or as a plea for a cure. With this piece you can ask to sweep someone off their feet, land on your feet or ask simply to keep both your feet on the ground

Cast entirely in hollow candle wax they stand out as a very unique decorative piece. We like them purely for their decorative qualities. Handmade by cerieiros, the crafts people that work in the traditional wax workshops which are now becoming so rare. Made from recycled wax collected from churches, monasteries and shrines countrywide. Colour may vary.
