Wood retablo, 'Saint Martin de Porres'

Both bright and rustic

This retablo is a lovely expression of St. Martin's spirituality. It has a very rustic feel even though it has bright colors. I love the little dog and cat at his feet.

Nice!

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.

Can't wait to share with others

For past two years have hosted a "Nativity Open House" with depictions from many countries/cultures. I especially like the cultural reference of the hat shop below. Just as many of us learn the story of room made for the Holy Family in the animal's shelter, this shows room made for the birth and adoration of Jesus where a family makes their livelihood.
