  • 🏺 Authentic Representation of the Taino Leadership Seat – Yocahu Vaguamacoti
    A sacred homage to Yocahu Vaguamacoti, the supreme Taino deity of agriculture, rain, and fertility, symbol of life and leadership.
  • 🎨 Handcrafted in the Dominican Republic
    Meticulously sculpted by skilled artisans, preserving ancestral craftsmanship and honoring the sacred traditions of Taino culture.

Yocahu Vaguamacoti holds a central place in Taino cosmology as the god who governs growth and sustains the land. Often buried in yuca (conuco) fields—the Taino’s most important crop—his spiritual presence was believed to ensure fertility, rainfall, and abundant harvests.

This leadership seat, used by caciques (chiefs), reflects the profound connection between divine guidance and earthly stewardship. The statue is adorned with sacred symbols representing Yocahu’s dominion over nature and his vital role in the cycles of life.

Each detail is a testament to the depth of Taino spirituality and artistic mastery. Ideal for collectors, historians, and cultural enthusiasts, this piece is a powerful tribute to the enduring legacy of Dominican Taino mythology and the wisdom of ancestral leadership.
