Torito de Pucara
The Torito de Pucará, or Pucará Bull, is a traditional Peruvian figurine from the Pucará region in the highlands of Peru, always displayed in pairs to symbolize balance and harmony. These small ceramic bulls are placed on rooftops to bring protection, fertility, and prosperity to homes. Representing the strength and resilience of the Andean people, they are believed to safeguard families and bless them with agricultural abundance. Crafted from rustic clay and adorned with vibrant colors, these paired bulls reflect the region’s craftsmanship and the Andean spiritual belief in duality, making them both decorative and meaningful.
The bulls are sold together.
