Product Description
Ceramic nativity scene, Christmas in a Stable: Home & Kitchen. We have been involved in this activity for 18 years and we are always worrying about accentuating our identity in the pottery field. 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. A tiny stable with a red tile roof is the setting for a miracle. The Mamani Family portrays the magic of the first Christmas in an Andean setting. Crowned with golden haloes, Mary and Joseph give fervent thanks for their beautiful baby, Jesus. Artisan Info: Hilda Mamani Olivera, born in 1972, is a woman dedicated to pottery. She is part of a family community working the land with her father and brothers. Their work is oriented to the mystical expression of the diverse villages of Peru through the simple language of clay. Their sculptures deal with the inimitable souls of the people who inhabit the Andes and all of the multi-colored beauty that constitutes their joy and belief in life. Their art brings us closer to earth. Our work activity comes from the family and from them we have inherited all of our knowledge of traditional pottery. We have come up with innovations trying to rescue the most heartfelt customs of our people and representing Peru in a way that is both spiritual and testimonial. We have exhibited our art in Chile, Spain, Brazil and Israel - as well as in our own Museum of the Nation and other private institutions.
