These charms are made by the Triqui in Oaxaca. They have 12 textile hearth shapes filled with different lucky objects (‘milagros’, colorin red beans, herbs) and must be hung above a newborn’s crib and remain there for 12 months, to ensure good health and luck. This was Emma’s. We got it as a present from a Triqui artist short before she was born. I has hung in her crib, in Mateo’s and now it will be placed in Sam’s as well! - Valeria Siemelink
