About this item

"Under a brilliant cobalt sky studded with golden stars, the nativity unfolds in a scene of pure Andean enchantment, with celestial doves perching on a rustic thatched roof. Mary and Joseph, draped in traditional textiles, watch the Christ child while shepherds gather close, their vibrant Andean garments a testament to Peru's rich cultural tapestry. Created by Dionisio Rojas and brought to life through expert hand-crafting and painting, this ceramic folk art creche transforms the humble stable into a highland sanctuary flanked by charming cacti and watchful white doves. The cascade of stars flowing from heaven to earth, the gentle sheep and the meticulously detailed figures create a joyful fusion of sacred tradition and Peruvian artistry that celebrates both the universal story of Christmas and the distinctive beauty of the Andes."
