There's a description of the painting written by the artist in the back that reads:
"
In this painting we can see the sacred eclipse formed by the sun and the moon. The huichol will bring offerings so they can protect them in their path to the sacred place. We can also see the antlers of the deers that were sacrificed."
In this painting you'll see a representation of the sun, the moon and the deer's antlers.
* The Huichol believe the deer or Maxa represents the heart and is the gatekeeper and guide to the spirit world. The spirits guide the maxa, who leads the shamans on their visionary pathways and teaches them how to gain their special knowledge.
* The sun brings light and illumination to the world. Tau or Tayaupa is father sun, master of the heavens. The Huichols believe all living things receive their power from the sun, and that He guarantees healthy crops and abundant food.
* The moon, or Metsa, represents all the femenine things. She helps the sun to protect the huichols from all the evil spirits and from Tukákame, the god of death.

The Huichol represent one of the few remaining indigenous cultures left in Mexico. They live in self-imposed isolation, having chosen long ago to make their home high in the mountains of the Sierra Madre Occidental, in Western Central Mexico.
Huichol Art dates back millenia. During spiritual rituals the shaman (know as marakame) have visions which are then transcribed into carvings, yarn art, bead art, pottery etc. Each image has spiritual meaning. The huichol tribe uses many simbols as representations of their deities and other things they deem sacred in their culture. Most common ones are the peyote, the deer and the snake.
