Well made and detailed
The nativity was very well made and detailed. The expressions on all of the faces of the Holy Family and the cute jungle animals are perfect. You can tell very quickly that the baby is a boy. I thought of putting a little blanket over him to keep him warm when I display the Nativity. I am pleased with the Nativity and am happy that I purchased it.

A rustic, hand-carved and wonderfully colored figurine
I have four of these wonderful figurines from Juan and Carolina. I love them all. I like that they have been carved in a "rustic" manner, and then colored in such a wonderful way , with lots of flowers and many happy colors. I admit I think of them as cultural more than religious, but I enjoy them for the stories they tell and the beliefs they celebrate. I thank Juan and Carolina for how much I enjoy their figurines.
Unusual Depiction
For those of us who collect nativity sets, a lot of the interest stems from seeing varying cultural depictions. Their home country offers many possibilities to Guillermo and Eduardo, and they make the most of them. This set shows figures from the Amazonian jungle region. Instead of cows and donkeys, the animals are a beaver, cheetah, and puma. As usual, the figures are all lovingly created.
