We love this.

Excellent craftsmanship. Packed extremely well. Attention to detail far surpassed my expectations. Reminiscent of travels to Mexico where they sold many colorful blankets.

Wood retablo, 'Saint Martin de Porres'

Both bright and rustic

This retablo is a lovely expression of St. Martin's spirituality. It has a very rustic feel even though it has bright colors. I love the little dog and cat at his feet.

Nice!

Wood retablo, 'Virgin Mary'

My third one! Yes, they're that good!

I bought the first one for myself as a confirmation gift because one of our Deacons, in a class for new Catholics, said every Catholic home must have a few things - one of them was a statue or photo or painting, etc., of our Blessed Mother Mary. I bought the second for a woman in my Bible study, who is from Peru and just moved into a new home. I bought the third one for my sister, because when she saw a photo of mine, she fell in love with it - not for the religious appeal, but from a folk art perspective - and after looking at many online, I can't agree more. I watched the video of how the artisan makes the retablo and it added even greater value to it. I simply love them. I love the scene behind Mary - the high mountains, and the flowers, in a wooden box with doors. I mounted mine on a wall in my home office and see it from where I sit. I'm buying the next one as a thank you gift for a close friend who I will be visiting in a few weeks.
