Huichol Beaded Pouch Necklace Handmade Blue Flower Medallion Mexican Folk Art

Description

Huichol Beaded Pouch Necklace Handmade Blue Flower Medallion Mexican Folk Art
Handmade by a Mexican Huichol Indian from the Sierra Mountains in Jalisco, Mexico.  The Huichol are an indigenous Mexican Indian tribe that originally relied on symbols for their written language.  Their culture, rich in ceremony and spirituality, create beautiful beaded art necklaces and earrings.  Each one of their beaded necklaces takes hours and days of work.  One by one, glass beads were added to create this gorgeous medallion necklace.  This necklace is 100% authentic Huichol hand crafted jewelry and not the imitation beaded necklace.
Details:
The mystic spiritual pouch is used by the Huichol to carry seeds that are blessed during the ceremony for successful crops.
The story is told that the Huichol Indian, Yuramec, escaped the flood and carried a pouch around his neck to cultivate his new land.
The flower is the Peyote star cactus flower, the Huichol symbol for communication with the Gods by the Shaman leaders.
