Black Guardian of Pucará Traditional Andean Handmade Ceramic Bull Sculpture in Black

Elva Florez

(43)

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