The profound and timeless emotion of romantic love, which unites two individuals in both life and the afterlife, serves as the driving force behind this extraordinary retablo depicting two skeletons on their wedding day. Influenced by the Day of the Dead, Peru's Jose Ramos designs this exquisite diorama that captures the essence of this powerful sentiment in the most original fashion. Handcrafted from black walnut wood, the hand-painted ceramic figurines are carefully arranged within while a heart on the top proudly showcases the Spanish message: Juntos por siempre (Together forever). The doors, which can be displayed in either an open or closed position, boast elabourate floral and leaf motifs.

Just received my retablo after looking at them for many years. This Mask Shop is filled to the gills with colorful, quirky and expressive tiny detailed masks. It is beautifully constructed and came well packed. Highly recommend to collector or for a gift.

I love this nativity and it occupies a cherished spot on my mantel for Christmas. Looks handmade and the unusual colors are beautiful. My one issue was that two of the very delicate pieces had broken off when it arrived. I was able to glue them back on just fine, but I think the teeny tiny styrofoam pellets are not the best packing material for inside the retablo. They also went ALL over my house! Not a big problem and I love the piece
