Ceramic candleholder, "Christmas Awe"
Jesus is born in a forest haven, accompanied by Mary, Joseph and shepherds. Resting in a cradle of hay, the baby gazes back at Mary and Joseph while smiling sheep snuggle close for warmth. Doves perched overhead coo a soft lullaby. Dionisio Rojas crafts this enchanting candleholder to celebrate Christmas.

"Lovely recreation of The Last Supper"
I love Peruvian ceramic work. Generally I prefer the limited palette of earth tones central to Peruvian ceramics but Dionisio Rojas has used beautiful and sophisticated colors to enhance this piece.

"Meaningful Nativity"
I love this Nativity created by Dionisio Rojas. The painting of each character is beautifully detailed. Instead of Peace Nativity, I call mine, In the Hands of God. The pictures do not capture how truly wonderful it looks.

"Beautiful gift!"
I loved this nativity as soon as I saw it, but I hesitated to buy it for myself because I already had a nativity that I liked a lot. The next year, my husband bought it for me as a gift, and I am so glad. Its exquisite! The picture doesnt even do it justice. I will treasure it always.

"WORTH THE WAIT"
I had seen this piece a few years ago, but for reasons lost to history, I did not buy it. Earlier this year I chalked it up to the one that got away, and purchased another sculpture by Rojas. When this did become available, I hesitate, but my husband also was charmed and encouraged me to buy it. I am so glad. Everyone who has seen it has said. Oh. that is beautiful! It is, and besides the execution, the individualization of the figures draws the viewer in. This is a great nativity/

"Awesome and detailed Nativity"
I love this nativity. Dionisio crafted and painted each figure and the Church with great care. It is even more beautiful than the picture shows. It also came so well packaged that there was no chance for it to have any damage. I am glad I purchased it. I was going to donate it to an auction, but I think we will keep it and give the auction something else.
