Great Folkart

This is truly a whimsical mirror exhibiting masks in a miniature way. This was a gift for a person who has always collected the larger masks and she is thrilled.

Wood retablo, 'Blue Andean Christmas'

Janice

Can't wait to share with others

For past two years have hosted a "Nativity Open House" with depictions from many countries/cultures. I especially like the cultural reference of the hat shop below. Just as many of us learn the story of room made for the Holy Family in the animal's shelter, this shows room made for the birth and adoration of Jesus where a family makes their livelihood.

Painted wood retablo, 'Cross of Lamentation'

Lou

A beautiful work of art!

I received this packaged in a very secure manner. When I opened the package, I was surprised the Retablo was wrapped in a very nice paper in an inner package. The bow that was wrapped around the package had a small handmade figure of an Andean. A nice card signed by the artist (?) was included. The Retablo itself is a very magnificent work of art. The details are just amazing. I can't think of enough words to describe how great this is. It will be placed in a prominent place in my house. Thank you.
