Delivery EstimateKnown as el torito de Pucará, this handsome bull is dressed to initiate the branding ceremonies in Pucará (Puno) and ensure the animals will be fertile. It is also believed that the bull guards families and households. Dionisio Rojas preserves this millenary tradition with this ceramic figurine, which he paints with festive detail against a body of blue.

"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.

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 recreation of The Last Supper"
I love Peruvian ceramic work. Generally I prefer the limited palette of earth tones central to Peruvian ceramics but Dionisio Rojas has used beautiful and sophisticated colors to enhance this piece.

"Meaningful Nativity"
I love this Nativity created by Dionisio Rojas. The painting of each character is beautifully detailed. Instead of Peace Nativity, I call mine, In the Hands of God. The pictures do not capture how truly wonderful it looks.

"Beautiful gift!"
I loved this nativity as soon as I saw it, but I hesitated to buy it for myself because I already had a nativity that I liked a lot. The next year, my husband bought it for me as a gift, and I am so glad. Its exquisite! The picture doesnt even do it justice. I will treasure it always.
