Andes Christmas Figurines & Collectibles

Surrounded by an array of flowers, rays of light burst in a halo about the Virgin Mary. Alejandro Chavez shows her expression of loving concern for her son, Jesus, and for mankind. Known as a retablo, this traditional diorama is housed in a colourful chest crafted of wood and painted. Chavez carefully models each figure from ceramic plaster and paints them by hand.
