About this item: A charming red bull tells the story of the torito de Pucará, a bull that was to be sacrificed by the people of Pucara in order to bring much-needed rain.

Maribel Posso Olivares draws inspiration from that myth, crafting this ceramic figurine in the characteristic style of Pupuja, painting the red bull by hand with metallic-colored accents and multicolored floral motifs.Hand-crafted item — color, size and/or motif may vary slightly
About our Artist: ‘I’m Maribel Posso Olivares. I was always interested in Peruvian art, especially in ceramics. I believe in positive energy and good vibes. I got together with my dear friend Magari Quiroz, ‘Maga,’ a reporter and classmate from journalism school. She suggested bringing back the alasitas motifs, which are the wishes that the ekeko dolls bring. ‘Alasitas’ is an Aymara word that means ‘buy me.’ Maga proposed I should create my own version of these traditional images. In 2011, we began creating colorful little houses and waqgons that shoppers liked. We also included the message ‘Discover your dream’ and a history of the alasitas, which are gifted as wishes. I hope to reach more people and show them they can achieve their dreams. I want more people to gift dreams with my designs. They are full of love and color are the result of teamwork and passion.’…
