19th Century Religious Relic, Retablo Nativity Scene
is painting typically done on a wood carving. The Latin etymology of this Spanish word means "board behind"[1]. Used to honor different saints of the Catholic Church, the retablo grew in popularity as the indigenous people of South America were converted by Catholic missionaries. Retablos are designated as “portable, flat, two-dimensional, painted wood or relief panel” designs
