Top: the kitchen displays a collection of retablos requests (for a quick recovery say or an easy childbirth) or thank-you messages painted
on metal panes and then taken to church as offerings. The metal-and-glass cross is typical of the work of San Miguel artisans. Above left:
on the stoveâs hood are a carved wooden rendering of the 12 disciples and a straw Christ. Nearby a piñata hangs from the ceiling.
Above right: the fox mask devil figures and doll clustered round the door frame are all papier-mâché. Mimbre wicker chairs surround the table
