The Tin Heart

CAD $10.00

Before the 14th century, the heart shape was not associated with the meaning of the heart metaphor. The geometric shape itself is found in much earlier sources, but in such instances does not depict a heart, but typically foliage: in examples from antiquity fig leaves, and in medieval iconography and heraldry typically the leaves of ivy and of the water-lily.

The combination of the heart and its use within the heart metaphor developed during the end of the Middle Ages. Although the shape has been used in many ancient epigraphy monuments and texts. With possible early examples or direct predecessors in the 13th to 14th century. The familiar symbol of the heart representing love developed in the 15th century, and became popular in Europe.

The Tin Heart is beautiful handcrafted art from India.

Perfect for your love spell work.
