Mexican Metal Folk Art

One of the least known, most versatile, and most beautiful expressions of Mexican folk art ishojalata (tin art work), also known in some parts of Mexico as, lamina  or lata. Since the 1500's, this humble metal has been made more pleasing by being shaped, stamped, punched, painted and cut into a wide variety of decorative and functional artwork:
