Red Guardian of the Andes Traditional Andean Handcrafted Ceramic Bull Sculpture in Red

Elva Florez

Ancient Andean legends portray the bull as a brave and fierce guardian that protects every home from negative energies. With the arrival of Spanish settlers, these fearless 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 marvelous ceramic bull with sinuous motifs and a palette of red and golden tones.

remembering those that came before

I had such a hard time deciding on which 1 of these to pick from!! I picked Francesca because she is holding a platter to feed her family . The detail is amazing and the painting is so exact. I will probably need to order another 1 from this artist because I was so impressed with the talent it was made with.
