OUR COLLECTION — LATIN AMERICA — ECUADOR  506. CURVED HOLY FAMILY

Picture
This curved Holy Family is hand-carved from cedar wood and then hand-painted. The carving was made by Otavalo Indians in a style that represents their traditional clothing and culture. The artisans work in the village of San Antonio de Ibarra, Ecuador. This town is famous throughout Ecuador for its fine wood carvings. The carving measures 8 inches tall.
​
The carving workshop was started in March 2006 by three sisters: Teran, Martha & Margarita. They started teaching a group of workers who had no experience in woodworking; the workers developed great skill so now they produce many styles of Nativities. The workshop employs up to 16 people, depending on the season.
