Traditional Floral Pink Ceramic Bull Sculpture from Pucara, "Pucara's Pink Protector"

Puno welcomes people with a splendid landscape of classic roofs where little pairs of bulls rest gracefully. Known as the Toritos de Pucara, these ceramic sculptures are an icon of the Andean culture, symbolizing the duality of its worldview as each figure represents the harmony between evil and celestial forces. This little torito, in particular, wears a floral and leafy design in pink hues, made by the talented Peruvian artisan Elva Flores as a sign of kindness and friendship.
