Tall Wedding Retablo - Two Grooms

Rooted in a centuries-old Peruvian tradition, retablos originated as portable shrines used to convey stories of devotion, daily life, and cultural identity. Over time, these miniature dioramas evolved into vibrant folk art scenes, preserved in handcrafted wooden boxes and brought to life with sculpted figures, traditionally crafted from a dough of potato starch and mineral powders. Eeach figure is then meticulously hand-painted, reflecting the rich cultural tapestry of the Andes.

Handmade by skilled artisans in Peru as Fair Trade treasures, this piece not only brings mystical charm to any home but also supports ethical craftsmanship and the cultural legacy of retablo-making passed down through generations.
