The retablo tradition in Peru dates back to colonial times. The indigenous people of the highlands have since adopted this art form as their own.

Retablos, or image boxes, were originally brought to Peru from Spain, and portrayed scenes of faith and daily life. These retablos join this centuries-long art form. Tiny figurines are hand molded from plaster paste. “Boxes” vary from whitewashed wood to dried out gourds or delicately emptied eggshells—each one covered with intricate, colorful freehand designs.
