“A perfect big blue Pucara Bull!”

First, this Pucara Bull looks huge; so much bigger and taller than I expected. He is very, very nicely painted in a lovely color of blue and I really will enjoy owning a fabled Pucara Bull. I especially like the manner in which Mr. Rojas has painted it. So many of the other Pucara Bulls are over-painted and garish. This Bull is perfect, very big and dignified. Well done Mr. Rojas, and thank you.

“Another treasure from this artist!”

I am so happy with this beautiful Nativity candle holder from one of my favorite Novica artists, Dionisio Rojas! It arrived in perfect condition, and is even prettier than the picture.

Lovely for my Christmas collection, but I can display it all year
