Wood and ceramic nativity scene, "Christmas Savior"
By Erika Ulloa, this enchanting nativity scene is set in the Peruvian highlands. Llamas kneel beside the manger where the tiny Christ child is blanketed with colorful weavings. Mary, Joseph and the shepherd boys wear traditional Andean apparel. The artisan crafts the wooden box to house this retablo or diorama and paints it in vivid colors. The figures are carefully modeled from clay and painted by hand.

"Exquisite artistry"





The care with which the artist worked is so very evident in this piece. It is darkly comic, with a band of horned creatures playing a musical tune on various instruments. I love it

"A Gift befitting art collectors"





My sister and her husband are serious collectors. I gave this the retablo to them as a birthday present and they could not be more thrilled. The detail, color and design are unparalleled. I hope to gift them with another one in the future.
