This well known pose of the Virgin, with hands clasped in prayer, standing atop a crescent moon with a cherub holding the bottom fold of her gown is completely adorned with micro-glass beads and important symbols for the Gods.
Her mantle is made of graduated values of black and green glass beads, rich green symbols and framed with bright metallic gray pearl beads.  Librado used metallic clear gold and graduated black beads for trim on her cloak.  On the back, a large green beaded Peyote flower made of 7 smaller flowers is protected by a large green Messenger Deer and the ultimate protector of the Father Sun.  Several Peyote flowers garnish her mantle with gorgeous sparkly greens asking for blessings from the Huichol Gods.
The front of her gown is embellished with
neon pink metallic center
glass beads and pink with symbols.
The all important corn and Peyote flower offer messages to the Gods.
Below, the 3D cherubic angel is clothed in a purple pearl colored gown with dark purple accents, black colored trim and black beaded hair.  Gorgeous gray pearl and white add brilliance to the angel's wings.
The base is adorned with graduated bronze metallic center bronze color beads and bright yellow Pacific Ocean wave and flowers.
Note:  The metallic beads are more valued by the Huichol and cost double compared to their regular beads.
