Description
Vintage Peruvian folk art wall hanging retablo, made of wood with brightly painted clay figures, featuring a Christian Nativity scene at the top, a large group of celebratory figures at the bottom, a mask shop, and a hat shop, all surrounding a small mirror. “Retablos are a sophisticated Peruvian folk art in the form of portable boxes which depict religious, historical, or everyday events that are important to the Indigenous people of the highlands. It is a tradition originated in Ayacucho.
The Spanish word retablo comes from the Latin retro-tabulum (“behind the table or altar”), which was later shortened to retabulum. This is a reference to the fact that the first retablos were placed on or behind the altars of Catholic churches in Spain and Latin America. They were three-dimensional statues or images inside a decorated frame. “
