Details

Leonor Quispe gives an Andean setting to the very first Christmas. While the Wise Men wend their way to the stable, an angel hovers above the manger to watch over the Holy Family. In the sky, the Christmas star illuminates whitewashed homes that cluster amid cactus. Quispe works in the traditional art of arpillera (patchwork) to create this extraordinary wall hanging. Each tiny figure is crafted in three dimensions and lavishly embroidered by hand. A display rod (not included) can be slipped through two loops at the top.

Wunderbar detaillierte Arpillera”

Diese eindrucksvolle Darstellung wird unsere nächste Ausstellung internationaler Weihnachtskrippen in unserer Pfarrkirche bereichern. Wir sind sehr froh, dieses so sauber verarbeitete Werk bei Novica entdeckt zu haben.
