Toro Pucllay

A constant element linked to the bull is water. This animal is said to emerge from the depths of an enchanted lagoon. It is a dangerous, almost demonic animal. All these attributes are similar to those of the Amaru in pre-Hispanic times. This explains why both images merged. The counterpart of the Amaru is the celestial Condor. The latter is said to be Machu Inca, or the old Inca. In the Andean dualistic scheme, the Condor represents the upper world, and the superimposition of the condor and the bull illustrates the balance of two complementary opposites that Andean people constantly reiterate to express their sense of integration or unity of the social body.
