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 eclipse is a moon and sun .    This elaborate beadwork is called "Chaquira".  It begins by coating the wooden mask form with a layer of beeswax and pine resin mixture.  Then each teeny bead is meticulously applied one-by-one.  .  The Huichols believe that the deer ( moon side)give their lives willingly to those who hunt them in a sacred manner.
