Leonor Quispe gives an Andean setting to the very first Christmas. While the Wise Men wend their way to the stable, an angel hovers above the manger to watch over the Holy Family. In the sky, the Christmas star illuminates whitewashed homes that cluster amid cactus. Quispe works in the traditional art of arpillera (patchwork) to create this extraordinary wall hanging. Each tiny figure is crafted in three dimensions and lavishly embroidered by hand. A display rod (not included) can be slipped through two loops at the top.

"A small work of art!"
I purchased these cards for my sisters and even though they arrived without the envelopes, I could not be more pleased. If I asked Novica to send me the envelopes, they would because they have the BEST customer service, but I had the perfect size ones that I can use. My sisters will absolutely love them! Thanks Novica! You are my go to for cards now!

"Detailed & beautiful handstitched Nativity scene"
This stocking is very unique and fun to look at--she put a lot of thought into the design. It is much larger and has so many more elements than I thought. I cannot imagine how much work went into it. I can actually see every detail extremely well. I am going to give it to my granddaughter who lived in Peru for a year and a half. She will love it. I like it so much that I have ordered one of the different designs. They will be heirlooms.
