The beauty of a hand-engraved scapular lies in the combination of faith and art, the spiritual and the material, the simple and the complex. On one side, the image of the Virgin and Child is represented, symbolizing maternal love, tenderness and protection. On the other side, the Sacred Heart is represented, which symbolizes divine love, passion and mercy. Both images are highly revered by Catholics, and convey a message of hope and comfort.
This hand-engraved scapular is a work of art that requires a lot of skill and delicacy. Hand engraving is the traditional method used since ancient times, which is carried out with a burin on the metal and where the line is lively and personal, reflecting the style and intention of the artist.
