Stone nativity scene, "Birth in Acos Vinchos"
Delicately sculpted in white stone, this exquisite nativity scene depicts the birth of the Christ child in pristine purity. Juan Licas Coronado creates the inspiring scene in Huamanga stone, quarried in the central sierra of Peru. Its texture and color are similar to that of alabaster. Because of the material's texture, the artisan must work with extreme caution, using fine chisels, burins, and drills to achieve a singular work of art.
Licas Coronado names this piece for the town of his own birth, Acos Vinchos. The set includes eight statuettes, sculpted by hand.
