This marble donkey figurine, carrying a Maras salt bag on its back, is a charming piece from the Maras salt fields in Peru. Handcrafted with attention to detail, it represents the hardworking donkeys traditionally used to transport salt from the ancient salt mines. The Maras salt is harvested from natural salt ponds in the Peruvian Andes, making this figurine both a symbol of local culture and a unique reminder of Peru’s rich artisanal heritage.
