Fantastik Oilcloth Bunting
Jesús Malverde is worshipped as a folklore saint in some areas of northwestern Mexico, especially those affected by the fight over drug trafficking. Also called "the generous bandit" or "the angel of the poor", he has gained a reputation for defending and helping those who are "indefensible" in the eyes of God, such as drug dealers, prostitutes, etc.
He was never recognised by the Catholic Church, and there are voices that even doubt his real existence. But the truth is that his legend lives on, and he is worshipped by a great number of people.
In recent years, his cult has spread among the immigrants who are trying to cross the USA-Mexico border. This bust is made of resin and it is hand painted, ideal for home altars.
