Retablo, 'Chapel of Quinua' Holiday Decor Nativity Scenes ![]()
Celestial scenes inhabit the upper composition of
this altar, as figures in traditional Andean attire celebrate the
birth of Jesus Christ beneath a rich, floral canopy. This
form of Peruvian folk art is known as the retablo,
especially characteristic of the Ayacucho region. The frame is crafted
by hand from wood, while Alejandro Chvez fills the shelves
with tiny ceramic characters painted to joyous perfection.
