This handcrafted wall mirror by Alejandro Chavez is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that seamlessly blends the artistic traditions of Ayacucho, Peru, with contemporary decorative elements. Its wooden frame, meticulously hand-carved and painted, bursts with vibrant colors and delicate floral designs that elegantly frame the central composition. At its heart lies the mirror itself, radiating light and adding visual depth while reflecting not only its surroundings but also the profound cultural and spiritual connection of the Andean people to their heritage. Surrounding the mirror, intricately hand-molded and painted ceramic figurines bring to life everyday and festive scenes from rural Andean life: farmers working the land, musicians playing traditional instruments and dancers dressed in vivid regional attire. Adding further dimension, the piece prominently features a nativity scene and a depiction of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, each rendered with exquisite detail and reverence.

Celebrating the Christian nativity, this set of figurines is created by Peruvian artisan Milton Rios. He works with blue molten glass, forming the figure of Joseph and Mary, their bodies combined in an abstract style to form a cradle in between them. Painted by hand with gleaming gilt, each figurine is accompanied by a petite baby Jesus that fits within the cradle.

Capturing the spirit of Christmas, Peruvian artisan Milton Rios creates a delightful and charming 12-piece nativity scene. Crafted from glass in blue and white tones, this set depicts the traditional figures wearing Andean clothing, accompanied by local farm animals. Each figurine is painted by hand with gleaming gilt.

An absorbed reader sits with scripture spread across his lap in this thought-provoking sculpture from West Africa's Theophilus Anum. The artisan hand carves the sculpture from local sese wood before embellishing the book with bright yellow recycled glass beads.

This precious nativity scene is the original creation of Francisco Calatayud in Mexico. Working with recycled glass, the artisan hand-blows each figurine in perfect detail. The 9-piece set is accented with touches of gold leaf for a stunning accent to your holiday decor.
