cultural sculpture

The story tells of three wise men who received the good news of baby Jesus' miraculous birth and decided to visit him and offer their sacred gifts. Inspired by the magical aura of these ancient figures, Guatemalan artisans Juan and Carolina hand-carve these pinewood statuettes in the traditional style of the region. With floral details and hand-painted accents, the set is ready to add a cultural touch to your home decor and celebrate with you the miracle of a blessed world.

El Salvador's Marcela Moran creates this charming and natural nativity sculpture celebrating love and tranquility in Bethlehem. Atop a round base of cortez wood, Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus are crafted from jute, dried gourd and agave fibers. The holy trio is clothed with 100% cotton attire hand-woven in a traditional loom.

"This nativity line was created as a way of reevaluating an underestimated and little valued natural fiber which has great potential. It can be used for many things and we transform it into decorative pieces with multicolored touches from the handmade fabric that complements it," Moran says.

This charming nativity scene will bring warmth and love to any interior. Marcela Moran from El Salvador handcrafts every detail from natural fibers, giving a sweet appearance to the entire item. This sculpture, embellished with cotton fabric, is a tender choice for home decoration.

This colorful flock of songbirds will brighten your holidays. The Canto Sisters craft them from dried gourds that they carve and paint by hand. Because each unique piece is handcrafted from natural gourds, please expect slight variations in shape and size.

Kathya and Blanca Canto learned the ancient art of carving mate gourds as young girls from their father. After working conventional jobs for many years they both decided to quit and partner up to continue with their father's legacy and keep this four-thousand-year-old tradition alive.

Styled after traditional Guatemalan animal masks, this set of six ornaments makes a charming addition to a holiday tree. Victor Hugo Lopez crafts the set from reclaimed cypress wood, carving two monkeys, two deer and two bulls, each painted in different colors.
