“Interessante Ergänzung unserer Retablo-Sammlung”

Die interessante Kombination der Krippendarstellung mit einem Spiegel ist eine wirklich außergewöhnliche Idee. So wird jeder Betrachter zum Teil der Krippe.

“My second retablo”

This is the second retablo I ve purchased from Mr Chavez. Please take time to watch the video of him making every single piece of this by hand. From mixing the clay from powder for the figures to cutting the wood for the frame. It s an intense amount of work and it shows! Highly recommended. I removed the mirror and use it as a picture frame and it looks unique and amazing!
