    Description

    2 Pieces of Huichol Beaded Art, includes 1. Antique Vintage Turtle measuring 6''L x 1.5''H x 4''W 2. Beaded Gourd Bowl measuring 3'' x 1'' FYI: ''Huichol Indians homeland is located in secluded regions of the Sierra Madre mountains in the states of Jalisco and Nayarit. Descendants of the Aztecs, they still maintain their pre-Columbian traditions and language. They live in communities without electricity and running water, in houses with dirt floors and thatched-grass roofs. Huichol art is made by coating the bottom of a gourd, or the wooden figure of an animal, with a mixture of beeswax and pine tar. Then, one-by-one, the artist presses into place hundreds of brightly-colored glass beads. The creation of these works of art require a great deal of inspiration, patience and concentration, all characteristics of the Huichol Indian approach to life.''    DW #38   Shipping  USPS
