Set within the Ayacucho region, Mary and Joseph are joined by the Three Wise Men as they welcome Baby Jesus into the world. Asleep on a manger, He is well-guarded by a cow and a donkey while Mary holds a spindle—a tender scene crafted by Alberto Aparicio Canchari as a message of love and faith. The Peruvian artisan sculpts and hand-paints each ceramic figurine in this eight-piece set, adding a unique aura to the scene.
