A star-topped Christmas tree and a trio of angels look over nativity figures in traditional Andean dress. A tea light will bring a gentle glow to this decoration, sure to become a cherished family favorite. This hand-painted ceramic piece represents the traditional skills of makers in Peru.

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
