1oz Maria Lionza Hand-Poured 18K Gold Plated Art Statue 

In an increasingly digitalized world, AppliedRotech strives to keep the artisanal tradition and legacy of historical legends alive through handcrafted sculptures. Our artists not only master the delicate art of sculpture, but also use ancient casting techniques to bring to life models inspired by legendary figures that have left their mark on various cultures around the world.

Each piece is more than just a work of art; is a tribute to the rich history of humanity, capturing the essence and greatness of characters that endure in the collective memory

According to the main legend, María Lionza was born in the 15th–16th century as the daughter of an indigenous chief from the region of  Yaracuy. Her father sent her to live in the Sorte mountain. One day, while she was by the river, an anaconda attacked and devoured her. From within the serpent, María Lionza begged the mountain for help. The mountain agreed, María Lionza thus disintegrated and merged with Sorte mountain. Sometimes the anaconda is said to have exploded and caused the torrential rains that are common in the region.

María Lionza is sometimes portrayed as an indigenous woman and sometimes as pale-skinned with green eyes, usually surrounded by animals. She is often depicted naked riding a Onza (  south american tapir)
