Description

Graceful and slender figurines depict the Holy Family and the Three Kings of the Christmas story. Two Andean llamas accompany them in this elegant eight-piece nativity scene. Master artisan Gerasimo Sosa works in ceramic in the classic style of Chulucanas using techniques that derive from the ancient Vicus culture. The artisan fires the handcrafted figurines, then applies a slip glaze and burnishes the piece with a stone. He then covers the white areas with slip and fires the piece a second time in a reduction kiln using mango leaves. The smoke results in the black areas while the protected areas preserve their original color.
