Details

Carved by hand from pinewood, this unique nativity scene is comprised of nine pieces. Jose Canil Ramos depicts the Holy Family with an angel, the Three Kings, a donkey and a cow. The figures appear as calaveras, literally "skulls," a popular theme in Guatemala for the Day of the Dead, November 2.

The angel's wings and Joseph's staff are removed for shipping, and cotton felt fabric protects the base of each figurine.

My daughter loved it!”

She is really into Sugar Skull art and had been looking for a nativity that would also suit her tastes (like black or Emo colors). She was blown away by this. Excellent craftmanship! I just wish that there was a matching manger to go with it.

My kitchen has a lemon and chicken theme. This mask is well made and I love the cheerful artistry. The kids know to rub the beak for good luck!
