'Our Lady of Mercy'
Exquisite depiction of Our Lady of Mercy, who is indeed 'Virgen de la Merced' and 'Virgen de las Mercedes.' The title is of Spanish origin, as 'Merced' means a favor attributed by Mary to those who ask for her mediative role.

Pine maracas, 'Fish' (pair)
Working with coconut shells, Ading transforms them into the traditional Latin American maracas, a kind of rattle. He adorns the polished surface with Balinese lele, a slender fresh water fish. The handle is carved of pinewood.
