OUR COLLECTION — LATIN AMERICA — PUERTO RICO  132. POLYMER CLAY NATIVITY

Picture
This is a completely original Nativity scene created by Puerto Rico’s first certified polymer clay artisan: Belén del Nido. Each piece is hand-molded in polymer clay and signed “Belén” by the artist. Only 20 sets were made. The tallest piece measures 3 inches.
​
The set is inspired by Puerto Rico’s rich and colorful culture. This 21-piece scene includes:
  • Mary dressed in campesina clothes with blue handkerchief tied on her head and large loop earrings.
  • Joseph dressed in his best white guayabera with a white fedora hat and holds a cane.
  • Jesus swaddled in a blue blanket, lying on a straw manger.
  • An angel with long black curls, dressed in white robes, carries the star of Bethlehem.
  • Three musicians with guitar, maracas, and bongo drums dressed in typical white outfits with a red handkerchief tied around their necks and pava straw hat.
  • A little boy playing sticks to the beat of the music.
  • Two bomba y plena dancers (a typical Puerto Rican dance); the women wear flowing skirts and a pink rose in their hair.
  • A girl holding a rag doll.
  • Three wise men as vejigantes (Puerto Rican mythical creatures) who bring coconuts, oranges and plátanos for the celebration.
  • For the celebration feast, a lechón en la barra (pig on a spit) actually turns round.
  • A Flamboyant tree with large, fiery red blooms (a Puerto Rican icon).
  • Four animals complete the scene: a rooster, cow, pig, and little coqui (small tree frog found only in Puerto Rico).
