Amazing Claudio Jimenez Peruvian Mixed Media Retablo Signed long to the way it unfolds

to the way it unfolds like a sculpture from 360 degrees

Amazing Claudio Jimenez Peruvian Mixed Media Retablo Signed long to the way it unfoldsWhat a thing! The level of detail in this vintage Peruvian retablo just blows me away with layers upon layers of simultaneous drama painstakingly packed into an 8" x 10" inch space.
