“Bursting with character”

Just received my retablo after looking at them for many years. This Mask Shop is filled to the gills with colorful, quirky and expressive tiny detailed masks. It is beautifully constructed and came well packed. Highly recommend to collector or for a gift.

“Truly beautiful and unique”

I love this nativity and it occupies a cherished spot on my mantel for Christmas. Looks handmade and the unusual colors are beautiful. My one issue was that two of the very delicate pieces had broken off when it arrived. I was able to glue them back on just fine, but I think the teeny tiny styrofoam pellets are not the best packing material for inside the retablo. They also went ALL over my house! Not a big problem and I love the piece
