The wooden box opens on two hand-painted doors decorated with bold folk flowers in teal and red, revealing a crowded and joyful scene of Andean musicians and figures in traditional dress. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe central figure plays a tambourine and wears a black poncho and hat, surrounded by a full cast of characters including guitar players, seated women in colourful pollera skirts, and what appears to be a llama in the background. All figures are hand-modelled and painted in gesso, a plaster-based material traditional to this art form. The painted interior background adds depth with colourful polka dot brushstrokes in red, green and yellow. The wooden box is secured with small metal hinges and the doors are attached with small leather hinges on the sides.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe retablo shows honest signs of age and use consistent with its vintage, including some paint wear on the exterior doors and base. The figures inside are intact and the scene is complete.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe retablo measures approximately 22 cm tall, 18.7 cm wide and 7.6 cm deep (8.7 × 7.4 × 3 inches) when closed, and weighs 884 g.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nColor may vary on your screen (slightly dark or lighter, not a completely different color)\u003cbr\u003e\nSome lifestyle or atmospheric images in this listing may be created with digital mockups, so small variations can occur.
