Description
This Andean nativity scene of Jesus' birth features a sight typically seen on Lake Titicaca: a fishing boat made of totora - Andean reeds. The side of the fishing boat reads Bolivia and the holy family and animals are nestled inside.
From the Aymara people, an indigenous nation in South America, this nativity is made entirely by hand with great detail and precision. Fair trade imported. Measures approx. 2.25" H x 3.75" W.
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.
