This is an old Reatablo, a traditional Peruvian folk art. Its origins date back to the time when Spanish missionaries in colonial South America carried lidded wooden boxes containing statues of Christ and saints with them when they went to spread their faith. Due to its origins, many of the pieces are based on the contents of the Bible or are related to Catholic events, but this one features people playing traditional instruments and dancing joyfully, giving a glimpse into the lives of the Andean people. The local fabric used to connect the lid and the thick layers of paint give it a vintage feel. The dolls inside the box are made not from clay but from a mixture of potatoes, newspapers and plaster, giving it a Peruvian feel. Colorful and joyful, Andean folk art is a great interior piece that will brighten up any space.
