"Stunning craftsmanship and creativity"
This is such a beautiful creche. We give our children nativity sets when they marry and this is the set my son and daughter-in-love selected. I can not wait to see their faces when they open it. I also got the wall/window for a background.

"Exqusite and dynamic!"
I have a lot of folk art, including a number of other pieces from John Barrow, and I am mostly only interested in depictions of animals, plants, and geometric forms, not humans. However the colors of the womens dress, combined with the condor, make this one of only a handful of pieces I have in my collection depicting humans, and I am extremely happy with it! One thing I realized I especially love about this piece is the dynamism that comes from having the condor sticking out away from the pieces center of gravity.
