Peruvian Retablo – Andean Prickly Pear Harvest

Peruvian Retablo featuring a traditional Andean prickly pear harvest scene, handcrafted by skilled artisans in Ayacucho, Peru. This colorful folk art piece represents families harvesting tunas (prickly pears), an important seasonal activity in many Andean communities. Every retablo is carefully handmade and hand-painted, preserving techniques that have been passed down through generations.

The interior scene depicts farmers gathering ripe prickly pears using traditional harvesting tools, baskets and pack animals. The detailed composition reflects everyday rural life in the Peruvian Andes, making this retablo an attractive decorative piece for collectors, cultural gift shops, museum stores and retailers looking for authentic Peruvian handicrafts.

The exterior doors are hand-painted with vibrant floral motifs inspired by traditional Ayacucho retablos. These colorful designs complement the handcrafted interior and make the piece visually appealing whether displayed open or closed.

Each retablo is individually handcrafted from wood and painted by hand, so slight variations in colors and details are part of its artisan character. Wholesale buyers may choose assorted Andean harvest scenes in the same size, allowing greater variety without purchasing multiple pieces of the exact same design. Preferred models can be selected after your order is placed, subject to available stock.
