Size: 23 x 19 cm  Materials: Resin mass / Paper / Flour Molded and painted by hand.   Ayacucho - Style full colors This type of retablo has its origins in colonial times, when Spanish priests traveled across the Andes to evangelize towns in Peruvian highlands. They used to carry articulated boxes with images of several Catholic saints to make them known to the population. These boxes were called “Cajas de San Marcos,” or Saint Mark boxes, and were taken as reference —by artisans— for the creation of the retablos. Ayacucho artisans adapted the new boxes and made them their own, changing their name to Retablos.   Shipping What are the shipping costs?
