Send to a friend
Working in ceramic, Dionisio Rojas depicts two whimsical bulls wearing flowers. The torito de Pucará is celebrated during cattle branding ceremonies to ensure the animals will be fertile, and it is believed that the little bull guards families and households. A fusion of native Andean and Spanish imagery, these fancifully decorated bulls are crafted in ceramic in the Ayacucho town of Pucará.
