whimsical holiday ornaments

This delightful set of three holiday retablos is created by Peru's Alejandro Chavez. Artisans craft the three mini retablos from wood, placing small hand-painted ceramic figures within. One features a traditional nativity scene; another shows the three Wise Men on their way to Bethlehem. The third features three whimsical Santas bearing gifts, accompanied by a teddy bear.

This whimsical take on the traditional nativity scene not only features Mary, Joseph, and an angel in traditional Andean dress, the onlookers are Andean villagers who have come in the stead of the Wise Man. These figures have been molded and hand-painted by artist Zoila Davila of Peru, who discovered in ceramics a way to express herself and take care of her children at the same time.
