Ofrenda Medal, 2024

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. Fiesta medals are sold to benefit charities involved in the event. 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.
