Collectible Peruvian Wood Multicolor Retablo Sculpture 'Chapel of Quinua'

"Celestial scenes inhabit the upper composition of this altar, as figures in traditional Andean attire celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ beneath a rich, floral canopy. This form of Peruvian folk art is known as the retablo, especially characteristic of the Ayacucho region. The frame is crafted by hand from wood, while Alejandro Chavez fills the shelves with tiny ceramic characters painted to joyous perfection."
