Soapstone Retablo
Soapstone Retablo

A peaceful nativity scene hand-carved from pink and white alabaster. The Soapstone Retablo is handcrafted by the artisans working with Manos Amigas, our fair trade partner helping small workshops across Peru find new markets for their products and supporting health and education in maker communities. Retablos, or image boxes, portraying scenes of faith and daily life, were originally brought to Peru from Spain. This retablo joins this centuries-old art form.

THE MAKERS

Deep and lasting relationships are essential to this family-run business, whose name means "hands joined in friendship." They bring the wares of 60 workshops across Peru - gourd carvers, ceramicists, jewelry makers and reverse-painted glass artisans - to market. They create a variety of exquisite handicrafts that tell stories of tradition and resilience. "I want to keep going, keep working to get ahead. My work is a happiness." - Eulogio Medina
