Item Description
Brightly painted in the La Palma style, this pine wood nativity made in El Salvador, invites you to arrange (and rearrange!) the six figures as you'd like. Tallest figure: 3in. h x 2 1/2in. w.
About the people who made this: Chalatenango, a mountainous area in the northeastern corner of El Salvador, suffered great losses during El Salvador's internal armed conflict. El Renacer Chalateco, Spanish for 'A New Beginning in Chalatenango" started after the signing of the peace accords in 1991, to provide people affected by the war with a new beginning. El Renacer works with artisans in many small towns throughout Chalatenango, helping to market their products and provide them with training and new opportunities.
Serrv carries wood and seed products painted in the characteristic folk art style of La Palma, a village made famous by Salvadoran artist Fernando Llort who shared his painting techniques with talented artists throughout the area. This distinctive style of painting, celebrates scenes of daily life with bright, cheerful colors.
