The “Torito de Pucará”: symbol of protection, happiness and fertility. We both share a love for futbol and we wanted to embody that in the colorway with the addition of the bull kicking a ball. In the South of Peru, specifically in Pucará-Puno, we can find a character full of mysticism and clay-based art: the Torito de Pucará. This peculiar character, full of colors and Andean details, is the most representative ceramic of the Pucará culture, which has transcended times, staying alive in the Peruvian culture. The history of these colorful ceramics dates back to the arrival of the Spanish to America, when the bulls began to be part of the traditional festivals of the area. In these festivities, these animals were decorated with many colors, then it was placed spicy powder on their nose, which caused them irritation and made them go crazy; For this reason they are represented by artisans with their tongue out. Today, it is common to find this craft in some houses in Peru, either as an ornament in some part of the house or on the roof of it. Many people have it because of its bright colors and others because of the deep ancestral meaning it holds in each of its lines and shapes.
