Hand Painted Ceramic Pucara Horse Figurine from Peru, "Red Pucara Horse"
Maribel Posso takes inspiration from traditional Pucara bulls to create this joyful Pucara horse. It's handcrafted in ceramic and painted with colourful floral designs over a deep red background.
Pucara figurines are a tradition native to the Puno region of Peru that mixes Andean beliefs and traditions with Spanish influences. The sculptures symbolize prosperity, happiness, and fertility and are commonly gifted to newlyweds and kept in homes as good luck amulets.

"A wonderful Jolly Ekeko"
I loved reading about the Ekeko fable, and this figurine is the perfect Ekeko. He is colorful, has a woven hat and lots and lots of presents. Most enjoyable and fun to look at. And, he indeed looks very jolly and makes me smile!
