Celebrate unity with this hand-painted retablo featuring two skeletal brides standing in joyful union beneath vibrant flowers. The crafted scene makes a standout wedding gift, a heartfelt offering for Pride celebrations, or a spirited piece for the Halloween season. Hailing from the Andes and rooted in the centuries-old Ayacucho folk-art tradition, retablos began as portable altarpieces—tiny wooden shrines that sheltered saints and spiritual scenes within hinged doors and ornate floral frames. Over time, these folk narratives blossomed into costumbrista-style boxes, vividly illustrating scenes of everyday life, festivals, and communal rituals. Traditionally crafted from a dough of potato starch and mineral powders, each figure is meticulously hand-painted, reflecting the rich cultural tapestry of the Andes. Lovingly handcrafted by Fair Trade artisans in Peru, each retablo is woven with cultural heritage and mindful craftsmanship. By choosing this piece, you’re honouring the timeless artistry and ethical practices that bring it to life—and inviting a little mystical charm into any space.
