OUR COLLECTION — LATIN AMERICA — PERU  65. PLASTERED EGG NATIVITY

Picture
This real egg is hand-broken and emptied by the artisans and then dipped in white plaster wash to fortify after proper cleaning. The artisans then insert a plaster base inside and a stand outside, gluing the mold-pressed and hand-painted tiny plaster figures inside the retablo. Finally, decorative touches are added to the outside. The artisans who make this item are Magdalena Fernandez and sister-in-law Norma of Manos Amigas in Peru. The item measures 2.75 inches tall.
​
Manos Amigas is a nonprofit organization connected with an evangelical Assemblies of God church is located in Lima. Manos Amigas, which means “hands joined in friendship,” works with individual workshops, groups and associations that make ceramics, jewelry, musical instruments and Christmas ornaments in Lima and in the Andean highlands.
