Product Description
Ceramic nativity scene, Inca Christmas inch (set of 9): Home & Kitchen. 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. 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. Dressed in the style of the ancient Inca, Mary and Joseph gaze lovingly at their tiny newborn baby. Shepherds wearing warm chullo caps accompany the Holy Family, each figure lovingly modeled from ceramic clay. Kneeling, an angel and two llamas acknowledge the miracle of the first Christmas. The Mamani Family crafts a beautiful nativity scene permeated with Andean style. 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 been involved in this activity for 18 years and we are always worrying about accentuating our identity in the pottery field.
