Santa and his reindeer soar across the night sky above the manger where little Jesus sleeps. Despite the late hour, shepherds watch their sheep, turning a curious gaze toward the Three Kings riding camels. Leonor Quispe brings the nativity to the Andes in a lavish, handcrafted Christmas tree skirt. She works in the traditional art of arpillería (patchwork) to create this family heirloom. Each tiny figure is crafted in three dimensions and embroidered.

“Everyone loves it.”

I have received so many compliments about the tree skirt. It is one of the most beautiful items I now own. I want to display it all year! Leonor Quispe is one of my favorite artisans and I look for her items before looking at other artisans.

“Wunderbar detaillierte Arpillera”

Diese eindrucksvolle Darstellung wird unsere nächste Ausstellung internationaler Weihnachtskrippen in unserer Pfarrkirche bereichern. Wir sind sehr froh, dieses so sauber verarbeitete Werk bei Novica entdeckt zu haben.
