Ceramic figurine, 'Andean Nativity'

This truly unique nativity scene comes from the creative imagination and talented hands of Feriberto Aylas. Composed of a single piece, it breaks the traditional model of separate components for this sacred representation. The predominance of warm colors underscores the looks of loving tenderness on the faces of Mary and Joseph. The setting of the manger itself is a contemporary and original version of that usually envisioned. This innovation is coupled with the traditional dress and headdress of the participants, accentuating the universality of the stirring sentiments surrounding the birth of Jesus.
