Retablos

Originally used by Christian Priests in Latin America to portray religious teachings, the art of the Retablo has evolved to include scenes of village life, celebrations and even political statements. St. James Gift Shop specializes in Peruvian Folk Art Retablos purchased directly from the artists. These colorfully decorated scenes constructed of plaster, wood and cooked potato will add an interesting conversation piece to any room.
