Product Description
Ceramic nativity scene, Andean Christmas Carol: Home & Kitchen. In our ceramics we express the daily customs, joy, and beliefs of our Andean villages - they are the true face of Peru. NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, offers thousands of limited edition and one-of-a-kind gifts, jewelry, and home decor treasures handmade by master artists and artisans throughout the world. Wearing traditional Andean clothing, a cherub plays a Christmas carol on the zampona (panpipes). Mary and Joseph appear as a young couple from the highlands as they gaze with love and awe at tiny baby Jesus. Working in ceramic, Feriberto Aylas creates a beautiful and reverent nativity scene. Artisan Info: Feriberto Aylas, born in Ayacucho in 1965, is an artisan dedicated to ceramics. He has established a family community centered around ceramics, working alongside his relatives. He has his own style oriented toward the expression of the customs of the Andean people, depicting them with the precision of a pure artist who knows how to coax primitive beauty from clay. His small exquisite sculptures exude the candor of the Andes with the simplicity of the color of wheat and the aroma of bread. Our artistic skills has passed down through generations of our family; we've inherited an extensive knowledge of traditional ceramics. We've made some modifications, achieving better consistency and color tones, all the while conserving traditional techniques. Our work has a double motivation, both spiritual and testimonial.
