A striking mid-century modern religious wall plaque by Emaus Talleres Monasticos of Cuernavaca, Mexico, depicting the biblical figure Abraham in hand-cut mixed metals mounted to a solid wood backing. Crafted in the 1960s, this piece embodies the expressive brutalist aesthetic the Emaus workshops became known for, combining raw texture, strong graphic lines, and spiritual subject matter into a deeply sculptural composition.
The hand-worked metal elements create dramatic depth and contrast against the warm wood plaque, while the simplified facial features and angular forms give the piece a distinctly modernist presence. An exceptional example of Mexican monastic artisan work that bridges folk art, brutalism, and religious iconography.
A compelling decorative object for collectors of mid-century Mexican design, brutalist metalwork, and spiritual art.
