EmptyNovica Peru Retablo by Chavez — Signed Handcrafted & Hand-Painted Folk Art
Handcrafted and hand-painted Peruvian retablo from the Novica Collection, signed Chavez. This traditional wooden altar box features double doors adorned with bold floral motifs in red, green, and gold hues that open to reveal a vivid crucifixion scene. Each figure inside is individually molded and painted in the Ayacucho folk-art style, reflecting the region’s renowned craftsmanship that blends Catholic imagery with Andean symbolism.
Attributed to Peruvian artisan Alejandro Chavez, a recognized Novica craftsman celebrated for his retablos, this piece exemplifies the distinctive cultural artistry of Peru. A meaningful devotional artwork and an outstanding addition to any folk or Latin American art collection.
