Good Luck House - Ca 1

Two Sizes Available

Description: As a means to brag about past business successes and, at the same time, to "cross your fingers" to assure good luck in the future, clay houses are placed on the roof each New Year's Day. The size and complexity is symbolic: On the one hand, you are telling your neighbors of your past year's success (brag rights); and on the other hand, you are providing a home for one of the Inca Gods to stay in so he will protect and bring you good luck during the New Year.
