Virgin of Guadalupe Religious Retablo Sculpture Handamade in Peru

Alejandro Chavez

Surrounded by flowers, the Virgin of Guadalupe is queen of the heavens. She first appeared in Mexico in 1531 and, as proof of her visit, caused roses to bloom at the site. Named Patron Saint of the Americas by Pope John Paul II, she is a beloved manifestation of the Catholic faith. Alejandro Chávez recreates the portrait that appeared miraculously on the tilma (cactus fiber cloak) of Saint Juan Diego in 1531. He creates the image in a traditional diorama known as a retablo; each figurine is modeled and painted by hand.

Andean Peacocks Set of 4 Dried Gourd Peacock Ornaments from Peru

Canto Sisters

(5)

Stylized peacocks and pretty flowers pose on festive ornaments — one each in green, red, yellow and orange. Working in an ancient art they learned from their father, the Canto Sisters craft the set from dried gourds harvested from the yerba mate plant. They are cleaned, dried and painted before the images are meticulously engraved around the surface by hand.

Cultivated on the Peruvian coast for 6,000 years, mate gourds were decorated with images of birds and fish by the pre-Inca Moche and Chimu peoples. But it was the Inca who went on to use the gourds as cups and bowls, in ceremonial objects and in musical instruments.

Because each unique piece is handcrafted from a natural gourd, please expect slight variations in shape, size and motifs.

Dried mate gourd decorative box, 'Harvest Dance'

Marnie

Aug 27, 2021

These mate gourd boxes are very, very special!

I purchased both "Harvest Dance" and "Fiesta at Huancayo" boxes. They both are so intricately done and even prettier than the pictures. They show scenes of village life in the Andes, and I loved studying the intricate scenes. Ms. Seguil is very, very talented and also patient to be able to carve such interesting boxes. Her carvings are extraordinary! I love her work and plan to purchase more.
