  • He is a great warrior, a guardian of his species, recipient of all his virtues. His mission is to “be”: to live and prosper through the generations. He is the protector of the seed. His abilities make him formidable in attack, but for now he stands still and serene, wrapped in colors and weaves that adorn his cosmic skin, filled with stars and ancient wisdom.

    El Imperial Fighting Bull is one of Master Pieces full Marakame Art Collection.

He Imperial Fighting Bull It is a collective work that was carved in cedar wood and painted by hand for 11 months. But it is thanks to a 4-year process that it has been possible, since the different stages it required —including carving, drying, decorating and sealing— were carefully and closely cared for. For this reason it is an unrepeatable and exceptional "Tona", something difficult to find.
