Taíno Guataubá and Coatrisquie Cemis Set

Guataubá and Coatrisquie Cemis Set

Reconnect with our indigenous Taíno roots through this set of two cemis, representing the deities Guataubá and Coatrisquie, who always accompanied the storm goddess Guabancex.

According to our ancestors, when Guabancex manifested, she was never alone. She was always accompanied by Guataubá and Coatrisquie, two male cemis who played crucial roles during storms.

Measurements: Between 9.5 cm and 10 cm

Material: Polymer Clay (Faux Stone Finish)

Coatrisquie controlled the torrential rains that would flood the land, unleashing devastating waters that destroyed fields, valleys, and homes. His power brought both destruction and illness, symbolizing the uncontrollable forces of nature.

Guataubá was the herald of storms, announcing Guabancex’s arrival with thunder, lightning, and dark clouds. His face was often depicted with tears, symbolizing heavy dew or the onset of rain.

In ancient rituals, these deities were honored by wrapping them in cotton twine—either to stop flooding waters (Guataubá) during storms or to summon rainfall (Coatrisquie) during droughts.

Stay tuned for future releases, as we are working on new versions of these powerful cemis.
