María y José, que velan por su pequeño hijo, sonríen mientras los pastores adoran al niño Jesús recién nacido. Debajo, músicos con disfraces extravagantes les dan una serenata. Alejandro Chávez representa las escenas en dos niveles en tres dimensiones. Este diorama tradicional se conoce como retablo; cada figura está modelada y pintada a mano.

This retablo is so beautifully made, it is hard to believe how reasonably priced it is! The workmanship is so detailed and the figures have such lovely expressions on their faces. I plan on ordering another soon!

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!

There is an amazing amount of detali in this little mirror. I recently painted and replaced the sink with a Mexican tile backsplash and this sweet little detail fits in perfectly.
