    Huichol Beaded Art Jaguar Head Artist Signed Handmade Large Mexican Folk Art Cat
    Huichol Mexican Indian folk art is truly unique and all handmade by an indigenous artist from the Sierra Madre mountains in Mexico.
    Beautiful, multi-colored, glass beaded and handmade jaguar head.  Signed original, handmade by Mexican Huichol Indian Iginio Bautista Bautista, Niuweme, in Mexico.
    Using the traditional Huichol techniques of pressing Campeche beeswax onto this jaguar pressed wood, hand painted, black sculpture and adding, one-by-one, glass beads this bright and colorful jaguar depicts the offering message to the Huichol Gods.
    Hours and hours, days and days, of work.
    Symbols are the main form of written communication for the Huichol people.  On this jaguar, a double headed eagle, duality of the gods, spreads his wings on the back.  He is protecting a newly bloomed peyote flower that is being nourished by the rich black soil.  On his nose, the scorpion protects the young corn bloom that is being fed by the blue rain.  His earthen green eyes are pointed directly at his prey.  Around his mouth, the colors of the sacred grounds are preparing him for the peyote ceremony and his bright white teeth have been cleaned by the blue rain.  Majestic, magnificent and brand new.
    The inside is hand painted black and signed by the artist.  He carved in a notch for wall hanging.
    He's (or she's) awesome!!!
