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

Visible area of painting: 4 1/4" x 3 1/4"

The larger ship on the front I believe is a Blackwall Frigate

loss of gold leaf/paint as noted

I have seen images of orange vessels just like these topped with highly stylized pointy lids ending in exaggerated bulbous tips

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. (Detail photos tell the story best.) It thus comes as no great surprise that it is signed on the back Claudio Jimenez, I believe attributing it to internationally renowned maker of retablos Claudio Jimenez Quispe, from a famous family of retablo makers in Ayacucho, Peru,
