A selection of Huichol Skulls specially designed by Marakame and comissioned to different families from the sierra Wixarika -Huichol-, these are unique pieces hand beaded in the traditional technique pressing more than 23 thousand crystal beads into beeswax. Compositions that project their symbology and the vision they have of the cosmos. Each piece has embodied the elements on the worldview of these artists in a different way, what makes them be works of art unique and unrepeatable, because each artist has a way of expressing their feel, their colors, their forms and visions, since the elements that have been translating for centuries by its spiritual importance, as the blue deer, the corn, the eagle and the peyote, all descended from their Sun God Tau.
About us
Marakame
is a brand that proposes a creative way to merge art, design and culture. We believe that we can converge this trilogy of concepts through our project of Diffusion and Commercialization of unique pieces of Art Wixàrika (huichol). Our pieces are made by Huichol families from different rural communities that mainly live in the Sierra Madre Occidental of the state of Jalisco.
The central idea of this project is also to disseminate, commercialize and revalue pieces of Huichol art, traditionally considered as "crafts"; it is to show that the realization of a piece and its mythical symbology are intimately intricate with a social and cultural dimension little known to the world.
Our artwork

In
Marakame
we specialize in the projection and sale of collectibles and we take care together with the huichol artists of the impeccable manufacture of each piece. The elements of the worldview of these artists are reflected in it, making them unique and unrepeatable artworks, as each artist has a particular way of expressing their feelings, colors, shapes and visions. From the elements that have been shaping for centuries for their spiritual importance, such as the blue deer, corn, the eagle and the "tuutÏ" (peyote) rose, all descendants of the Sun God "Tau"; to the emerging symbology of contemporary Huichol artists with a conceptual meaning, which has emerged from the Huichol culture and its magical traditions.
