Jaguar Head (S)

Description

Jaguar head lined with chaquira

Huichol artisans make pieces of very high quality and great color that are complex to make, such as the figures lined with beads that amaze the imagination and are part of the magical world of the Wixarika culture. The hands of the artisans transform the material, lining it with beads with beautiful and brilliant motifs. The result is a veritable explosion of colour, full of sacred symbols of their culture.

The Huichol culture is guided by pre-Columbian shamanic traditions linked to ceremonies carried out in its historical past. The figures lined with beads are a unique decorative piece of its kind.
