Description

This is a ceramic church piece from the small community of Quinua in Peru. Quinua is known for its pottery and local artisan's use of red and cream-colored clay. This piece, colorfully painted and with small details, shows a small church. Under the awning of the church are a group of people standing together, possibly selling fruits and vegetables. On the left side of the church is a tower with bells and a clock. On the right side of the church are green cacti with red flowers.
