    Description

    Huichol Bead Art - Sitting Deer
    Hand-crafted by the Huichol Indigenous Tribe
    Here is a fine example of the renowned beaded art work of Mexico's Huichol peoples. This colorful deer  is built on a wood frame that has been coated with bees wax and then embedded with hundreds of tiny glass beads of many, many colors. They are arranged, one at a time, to form  different geometric patterns, including other animals and the symbol for peyote cactus, a highly venerated plant in their culture.  The deer, like all Huichol art, is one-of-a-kind. It  measures 4 3/4 inches long by 6 1/2" tall.
    HISTORY:
    The Huichol people are an indigenous tribe living in secluded settlements within Mexico’s Sierra Madre mountains. They are known for their beautiful Huichol art — animal figures, jaguar heads, masks and ceremonial bowls coated with beeswax, then covered in tiny, glass beads. Hundreds of beads, set in place one at a time, produce dazzling patterns derived from their ancestry and spirituality. The creation of this Huichol bead art requires a great deal of inspiration, patience and concentration, all characteristics of the Huichol Indian outlook on life.

    I have purchased this beaded deer and other Huichol art directly from a Huichol artisan family in San Miguel de Allende, for resale through eBay. There is no middleman, so  the money I pay goes directly to sustaining the worthy artists who produce this work. Please check my excellent eBay feedback rating, and also note my
