Miniature “Diabluma” Dancers – Celebration of Andean Ritual and Color

These vibrant handmade miniatures are inspired by the iconic Diabluma dancers of Ecuador—symbolic figures from the famous “Diablada de Píllaro” festival, a cultural expression of resistance, identity, and celebration rooted in the Andean highlands.

Crafted from polymer clay and traditional materials, each figure features a vividly colored mask with multiple horns and an elaborate outfit, including a green jacket, fur-like pants, and symbolic props. Every detail reflects the spirit of the Diablada—a dance that blends pre-Columbian rites with colonial history and satire, where participants embody devils not as evil forces, but as playful characters that challenge power and celebrate freedom.

These miniatures are not only eye-catching decorative pieces but also powerful cultural tokens representing Ecuador's living heritage. Ideal for collectors, lovers of folklore, or as a unique gift that tells a story of tradition, resilience, and joy.
