Black Guardian of Pucará Traditional Andean Handmade Ceramic Bull Sculpture in Black

Elva Florez

Ancient Andean legends portray the bull as a courageous and fierce guardian that protects every home from negative energies. With the arrival of Spanish settlers, these brave creatures became part of the Highland culture, inspiring artisans of the time to create ceramic sculptures that would later be put in pairs on the roofs to attract harmony. Today, Peruvian artist Elva Florez continues the ancient tradition, making a fascinating ceramic bull with sinuous motifs and a palette of black and golden tones.

This Is a Gift

I haven't taken it all out the box, I don't want any parts to go missing. But from what I did see it is so beautiful. I can't hardly wait for his B-day to give it to my Husband. He will be retiring soon (I hope) he has been talking about building a miniature suburb/town, he has a train set he has had since he was a kid. He has been collecting miniature homes and people. I thought this would be a great addition for his project. I've also bought him a fairy house (made from a Gourd) so I thought this would also look great. I think I got a great deal. The craftsmanship is so right on! Thanks!
