01
Artifact Overview
This medal was designed for Fiesta San Antonio, an annual event that commemorates the Battle of the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto.

Placing a loved one's photo in the slot between the candles allows this to serve as a small, wearable ofrenda: an offering used to commemorate the dead.
