Peruvian Folk Art Cotton Christmas Scene Tree Skirt 'Nativity Scene'

Santa and his reindeer soar across the night sky above the manger where little Jesus sleeps. Despite the late hour, shepherds watch their sheep, turning a curious gaze toward the Three Kings riding camels. Leonor Quispe brings the nativity to the Andes in a lavish, handcrafted Christmas tree skirt. She works in the traditional art of arpillería (patchwork) to create this family heirloom. Each tiny figure is crafted in three dimensions and embroidered.
