The Virgin of Guadalupe blesses the hearts of those who live by hope, becoming the muse of artisan Alejandro Chavez. The Andean artist uses ceramic to portray the serene image of the saint in this wood retablo—later painted in bright hues that add warmth and tenderness.

This is the second retablo I ve purchased from Mr Chavez. Please take time to watch the video of him making every single piece of this by hand. From mixing the clay from powder for the figures to cutting the wood for the frame. It s an intense amount of work and it shows! Highly recommended. I removed the mirror and use it as a picture frame and it looks unique and amazing!

There is an amazing amount of detali in this little mirror. I recently painted and replaced the sink with a Mexican tile backsplash and this sweet little detail fits in perfectly.
