Product Description
Celebrate faith and Guatemalan folk art with this colorful wooden statue of Our Lady of Candelaria. Each figure is individually carved with a machete and basic hand tools by Guatemalan artisans known as santeros, then hand-painted with vibrant flowers and rich colors.
The statue is made in a family workshop in one of the small villages surrounding Chichicastenango. Because every piece is handmade, slight variations in carving, color, and design make each statue unique.
