This compact treasure is full of festive spirit — perfect for adding a touch of magic to your Christmas décor, slipping into a stocking, or gifting as a unique keepsake.
Lovingly crafted by Peruvian artisans, this miniature nativity scene is inspired by the traditional retablo — a form of Peruvian folk art that tells stories through intricate, hand-painted scenes enclosed in tiny boxes. Each figure is carefully sculpted and painted, reflecting generations of artistry and devotion.

Doing our part for the environment.
We try to use recycled packaging for all of our orders so you can expect to receive your item in a pre-used carton or container but don't worry, it will still reach you in perfect condition.
When we can't use a pre-loved box, we'll use recyclable packaging envelopes and paper tape made from 100% recycled fibres.
We encourage you to re-use your packaging either to mail other items or in crafts with your little monkeys - the hours of fun that can be had with a cardboard box are priceless!
