Nativity in Bethlehem Handcrafted Ayacucho Wood Retablo from Peru

Watching over their tiny son, Mary and Joseph receive the visit of shepherds. A cow and donkey kneel beside the manger in this charming nativity scene by Alejandro Chavez. This traditional diorama is known as a retablo and each figurine is individually modeled and painted by hand. The doors open and close, and there is a drawer at the bottom.
