Delivery EstimateEnergetic and raucous, a band of different animals with bulging eyes gathers together as they play music on traditional Andean instruments as well as more mainstream instruments. Peruvian artisan Erika Ulloa creates this whimsical scene, crafting each figure from ceramic with a hand-painted finish. This wonderful retablo is displayed within a wood box with hand-painted floral motifs in pink.

"Exquisite artistry"
The care with which the artist worked is so very evident in this piece. It is darkly comic, with a band of horned creatures playing a musical tune on various instruments. I love it
