Description

Huichol Art - The Huichol yarn boards are true multicolored yarn paintings, the yarn is glued with Campeche wax (beeswax), where the Huichol express the visions they have during their rituals, their stories and religion.

The Huichol artisans make very high quality and colorful pieces that are of complex elaboration, such as the worsted boards that surprise the imagination and are part of the magical world of the Wixarika culture. The hands of the artisans transform the material into yarn painting with beautiful and brilliant motifs. The Huichol culture is guided by pre-Columbian shamanic traditions linked to ceremonies performed in their historical past.
