Huichol Art Beaded Serendipia Hand Made 12" Multi Color Folk Art Mexico Giraffe

Description

MINT Condition, Huichol Art beaded "Serendipia" hand made 12" multi color Folk Art Mexican Giraffe.  Intricately placed "seed" beads decorate this lovely piece from the top of its horns to the bottom of the wooden base.  Measures 12" in height, 4" in length and has a 2 1/2" base.  Beautiful shades of white, gold, purple, green, black and red beading.  As this piece was handmade in Mexico, there are never two that are quite alike.
Huichol art groups the most traditional and most recent innovations in the folk art and handicrafts produced by the Huichol people, who live in the states of Jalisco, Durango, Zacatecas and Nayarit in Mexico.  The unifying factor of the work is the colorful decoration using symbols and designs which date back centuries.  The Huichol have a long history of beading, making the beads from clay, shells, corals, seeds and more and using them to make jewelry, decorate bowls and other items.
Don't let this one-of-a-kind piece get away.
