Many gold and silver ex-votos were stamped, a technique consisting of obtaining a relief from a mold (bronze, iron or steel), which is pressed onto a metal plate through successive hammer strokes. This process is still ongoing at the Fernando Martins Pereira & Ca. Lda Workshop, located in S. Cosme (Gondomar).
