Fair Trade - From the Aymara people, an indigenous nation in South America, this nativity signifies the heart of family love and the birth of Jesus. (Chuyma is a Aymara word which means a welcome from the heart.) This colorful ceramic Andean nativity stands 3.25 inches high. The bright colors represent the current Aymara culture. Hand crafted in Bolivia; Colors may vary. ZANACHU

Traditional red pottery inspired by the ancient Bolivian Tiwanaku culture. Each piece is made with great detail glazed or painted entirely by hand with a simple brush. Artisans: Aymara ceramic artisans in Bolivia have inherited and adapted the ancestral techniques and designs to share with the world through fair trade for a better quality of life. These artisans have a decent job that allows them to value their culture and teach it to their children. This Nativity set was acquired through a Fair Trade organization. Fair trade pays impoverished artisans a fair price for their work and puts people first, not profits.
