Owners Lost Faith is about possessions that represented belief in the magic qualities of an object or its symbolic representation of a union or state of mind before the owners lost faith in the fulfillment of that object’s promise (ex: bride & groom cake toppers, santos, political campaign buttons, heart lockets, radio premium rings, ex-votos, milagros & cimaruta).
