Product Description
Applique wall hanging, The Birth: Home & Kitchen. She also creates vests, pillowcases, wall hangings, and purses using this same technique. NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work directly with the finest artisan designers. A golden manger sits amid the spectacular Andes as the three wise men, guided by the star of the east, approach this hallowed nativity scene. Maria Ramos Sanchez presents her original perspective with this patchwork wall decoration using an array of evocative colors. To create these intriguing works, the artisan sews together strips of burlap, producing images based on her own vivid memories. The animal and human figures are stuffed with cotton and integrated into the piece, creating a distinctive texture. An innovative decoration for the holiday season.
