Abstract

In this article we catalogue a series of thirty-four metallic exvotos belonging to the matrix brotherhood of Ntra. Sra. del Rocío of Almonte, which are kept at the head office of the corporation in the said town of Huelva. Such pieces, the result of popular devotion, were donated to the Blanca Paloma over the Nineteenth and Twentieth centuries. The believers, to get some special grace, they offered such items as a testimony of their personal gratitude.
