Our Lady of Guadalupe handmade from the shell of a fruit called Tapara . Created by Venezuelan Artist.

Our Lady of Guadalupe (Spanish: Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe), also known as the Virgin of Guadalupe is a Roman Catholic title of the Blessed Virgin Mary
associated with a venerated image enshrined within the Minor Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City.
On December 9, 1531, in Mexico, Our Lady appeared to Juan
Diego, a poor humble Aztec Indian who had recently converted to
the Catholic faith. She asked him to go to the Bishop and tell him
to build a church where she said “I will show and offer all of my
love, my compassion, my help and my protection to my people.”
Juan Diego did as she asked, but the Bishop asked for a sign that
this message was really from Our Lady.

TOTUMO FRUIT Totumo fruit gourds come from a tree that is found from Central America stretching south to the Amazon. During pre-Columbian times, natives like the Mocanas used the husk of the fruit to make canteens called totumas in which they stored milk and water. Today they are valued in the manufacture of handicrafts and musical instruments. We cut, dry, clean, polish, dye and engrave the fruits to make unique pedants, necklaces, earrings and decorative elements
