A beautiful work of art!
I received this packaged in a very secure manner. When I opened the package, I was surprised the Retablo was wrapped in a very nice paper in an inner package. The bow that was wrapped around the package had a small handmade figure of an Andean. A nice card signed by the artist (?) was included. The Retablo itself is a very magnificent work of art. The details are just amazing. I can't think of enough words to describe how great this is. It will be placed in a prominent place in my house. Thank you.

This is a truly wonderful, handmade work of art. The carving is smoothly and expertly done; the wood grain is beautifully showcased. Although this piece has an exquisite simplicity to it, the love between Mary and Joseph and their love for the Holy Child is evident, as Mary and Baby Jesus are cradled in Joseph’s arms. It is one of those pieces where the artist hasn’t had to create something complicated or overly intricate in order to convey so much. Fernando Castro has “spoken” in a whisper - yet, when you hold this special and artful piece in your hands, his message of love, heartfelt compassion, and respect can be heard as powerfully and clearly as if he had shouted it from a mountain top.
