Huichol are an indigenous, Indian, ethnic group of western central Mexico, living in the Sierra Madre Occidental range in the Mexican states of Nayarit, Jalisco, Zacatecas, and Durango. The beaded art is a relatively new innovation and is constructed using glass, plastic or metal beads. Common bead art forms include masks, bowls and figurines. Like all Huichol art, the bead work depicts the prominent patterns and symbols featured in the Huichol religion.
The beaded Jaguar heads are created from their visions with the Peyote cactus, each bead being placed one by one. Some of these truly amazing pieces like this one utilize literally TENS of THOUSANDS of individually-placed tiny beads placed carefully on a layer of beeswax. The work is done by hand, without benefit of tracing patterns or masks, flowing from the artists’ heart and mind and through their fingers to the artwork. Each piece is absolutely original; there can never be two exactly alike. The beaded jaguar head makes its statement with a tooth-baring snarl.
