Interesting worked tin with paint plaque

I found this the other day for a good price. It is a type of tin over some raised material. It is then painted on top like a type of enamel, or similar paint.

It's 11 in by 9 and 1/2 in.

 

I'm going to just add these in a reply as every time I try to add additional photos I end up messing up the formatting, lol

 

It looks like a souvenir from a San Diego (?) somewhere in Latin America. Can't read what comes before. Colander? 200?

Salvador.....

 

Thanks. AI said "You're likely referring to the (place omitted because of false link it created) in San Diego, which is a cultural center that promotes creative expression and offers various art and cultural programs."

El Salvador is how we reference it.

I will keep searching for this artist.

I did a search on "painted tin" folk art and it's a "thing".

 

Looks like Balboa Park in San Diego,Ca.with Spanish Village on the bottom.

 

I can't find any architecture in Spanish Village that looks like that.

I think the way the tin is raised over the objects in a realistic fashion shows some skill and intelligence in its creation. It's very solid also. I don't know about other figurative landscape work done like this.

 

Yes, I did a google search and it does look like that. I guess they were a follower of St Francis from South America.

 

Latin America. It could depict Central America as well.

That domed church could be clue. It looks like the Cathedral in the capital. It doesn't explain the San Diego part though.

 

Actually, the blue trim on a white-washed house could be a clue. According to the internet, it's more typically found in Central America. México, Guatemala and El Salvador specifically.

There's nothing written on the sticker in the upper left hand corner?

No, it's blank. Maybe was for a price. Nothing even faded. I used a loup.
