We had these stunning, handcrafted red Pucará bulls made just for you, our beloved SG customers. They’re such a spirited, historic, and deeply symbolic piece of indigenous Peruvian culture still celebrated today. A way to infuse your sacred space with the strength of the bull, and the magic of Incan culture. Each one of these red Pucará bulls was molded from clay, in the hands of skilled artisans, then beautifully hand-painted – unabashed florals dance across the bull’s crimson body, with gilded horns and other golden flourishes. These bulls are decadent pieces of art, culture, and spirit animal medicine in the form of one distinctive talisman.
The deeper magic and history of these red Pucará bulls
Traditionally crafted in Pucará, Peru, just north of Puno, these toritos (little bulls) represent a time when the Spanish colonized South America, naturalizing a new animal species – the bull. Bulls would become a staple of tradition and magic to the native Incas. With its four hooves planted firmly on the ground, and its formidable muscularity, the bull brings strength, protection, and prosperity. Contemporary Peruvian culture honors this powerful Earth-element creature as having a great influence on the growth and development of their society. Today, the torito de Pucará is commonly gifted to serve as a protector in the home, and considered especially precious for newlyweds, to invoke fertility and joy.
May these talismans bring all the strength and prosperity I wish for you.
This listing is for one (1) red Pucará bull, about 4” long and 3” tall, which will come to you lovingly gift-wrapped for safe travel.
