Seville Easter Procession Painted Tiles Plaque

Can't check the back but the tiles don't seem to have significant age. Probably a souvenir piece?
Thanks

 

I think your souvenir idea is likely correct. And it is nice looking, but I had to laugh at the name - "El Paso de La Macarena." What music do you suppose they play during the procession?

 

I don't think it's a souvenir piece. The type of thing one buys to inset into the patio wall of one's home or hangs inside. Quite an elaborate frame. Meant to be La Macarena. (Duh. It is the Macarena; says so in the right-hand corner.) From clothing, appears to to the 1950s.

Oddly enough, I was in a tile shop in the tile making district of Seville with a Spanish friend of mine and while he was doing a bit of interpreting for an American lady, I examined the stock which had very similar panels, along with more traditional designs.

They were rather expensive.

 

I admit I thought of the dance too and had to google to find that this was Our Lady of Hope Macarena.

 

The Virgin of Hope of Macarena is the patron of Seville.

Another interesting snippet about Seville is that there is a great shortage of parking, so people double park in the street with the hand brake off. If you come back and find your car boxed in you push the culprit or culprits out of the way, then drive off.
