Cuba

 

3 1/2" Nativity scene plate with gold trim and stand.

This item is an original design of Elsa Biaggi of Biaggi House of Nativities.  Her work is collected worldwide. 

The artist's signature design style - palm trees and thatched roofed houses (bohios) - is depicted in this plate. I always thought this was from Hawaii but found one similar, and it was from Cuba. The artist's name and the word describing the house are both Spanish, so my belief now is that it is from Cuba.
