"Nativity"
I bought this to give as a gift. But, I was unable to see it when I received it as it was wrapped so very well that I knew I wouldn't be able to put it back. I was shipping it to a friend therefore needed the good packing and gift wrap that it came with

"Lovely recreation of The Last Supper"
I love Peruvian ceramic work. Generally I prefer the limited palette of earth tones central to Peruvian ceramics but Dionisio Rojas has used beautiful and sophisticated colors to enhance this piece.

"Meaningful Nativity"
I love this Nativity created by Dionisio Rojas. The painting of each character is beautifully detailed. Instead of Peace Nativity, I call mine, In the Hands of God. The pictures do not capture how truly wonderful it looks.

"Beautiful gift!"
I loved this nativity as soon as I saw it, but I hesitated to buy it for myself because I already had a nativity that I liked a lot. The next year, my husband bought it for me as a gift, and I am so glad. Its exquisite! The picture doesnt even do it justice. I will treasure it always.
