John Barrow depicts a woman attired in the dress of colonial Lima. Covered with a long, silk veil and full skirts below the ankle, these charming ladies were known as tapadas – the covered ones. Only one eye was seen, and the toes of embroidered satin slippers. Barrow transforms native Andean woods into a sculpture colored with wood stains and gilt. This piece forms part of his "Historical Lima" collection.

Customer Reviews of John Barrow
John, I would like to add figures to the nativity set that suggest 1. a shepherd or local people and 2. herd animals, the llamas instead of sheep, for example. But I can't gauge scale. There is a shepherd holding a llama, but he appears to be too tall for the original group. The two llamas look fine, from here. 3. I think the bird and the bull fighting are the wrong theme, but is that bull in scale for the nativity scene? The sitting bull would be better, but he looks too large Also, what would you suggest to give the impression of an 4. angel, and if I were to choose a 5. tree, which one would you recommend. As you can tell, I moved right in to your wonderful vignette! Happy holidays. Gwen
