Fiesta in My Homeland Mirror
The nativity takes place in an Andean stable and below, herdsmen in traditional Peruvian dress appear with llamas. To the left, a market stall offers hats for sale while carnival masks are sold on the right. Visualized by Alejandro Chávez, the images are portrayed in a novel mirror frame. Known as a retablo, the diorama’s intricate hand-shaped figurines are housed in a colorful wood chest.
