Ceramic figurine, 'Red Pucara Bull'

Joyeuse

May 20, 2020

So adorable!!

I fell in love with the traditional Pucara bulls during a visit earlier this year to Peru. While I purchased a large red & blue bull pair to display in my living room, I wanted a smaller one for my home office. Red is my favorite color so this one was absolutely perfect. The painting is beautifully executed & it's very well made. It's the perfect size to sit on my bookshelf. Just seeing it reminds me of the beautiful Andes & a very memorable vacation. I highly recommend this item if you're looking to pick up some traditional Peruvian art into your home or office.

A perfect big blue Pucara Bull!

First, this Pucara Bull looks huge; so much bigger and taller than I expected. He is very, very nicely painted in a lovely color of blue and I really will enjoy owning a fabled Pucara Bull. I especially like the manner in which Mr. Rojas has painted it. So many of the other Pucara Bulls are over-painted and garish. This Bull is perfect, very big and dignified. Well done Mr. Rojas, and thank you.
