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 green with bronze center and lime green with gold center glass beads, rich green symbols and framed with metallic gold beads.  Librado used graduated color green beads for trim on her cloak.  On the back, a large graduated color green beaded eagle with God's Eye is flying below a large Messenger Deer.  Several Peyote flowers garnish her mantle with gorgeous sparkly greens.
The front of her gown is embellished with black glass beads and bright red symbols.  Some symbols include the all important scorpion (protector of the peyote) and a Messenger Deer head (the ultimate messenger to the Gods) and several peyote flowers.  Her sleeves are trimmed in clear metallic gold and the inside folds of her mantle are clear metallic green.
Below, the 3D cherub angel is clothed in a clear gold with metallic gold colored gown, metallic gold colored trim and adobe color beaded hair.  The base is adorned with Huichol earth and fire colors and above the base, metallic aqua emphasizes the waves of the Pacific ocean and water that is necessary for successful crops.
We love how Librado turned some of the metallic beads sideways for real sparkle.  The metallic beads are more valued by the Huichol and cost double compared to the regular beads.
