The Joyful Tree Family

Hand-Painted Tree-Shaped Floral Ceramic Sculpture in Green

The joyous chant of the doves adds a harmonious touch to the little nativity scene taking place at the base of this exquisite artwork. Made in Peru using traditional pottery techniques, the little green tree is surrounded by lovely birds, adorable flowers and the sweet image of Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus — reliving the tender aura of Bethlehem's miraculous event. The sculpture is hand-painted by master artisan Feriberto Aylas, whose magnificent talent finishes the piece with a merry traditional touch.
