Description

This beautiful prayer bowl is created using the bottom of a gourd which forms a bowl.  The tiny chaquira, or seed beads, are applied by coating the inside of the gourd with a beeswax mixture called campeche.  Then the beads are applied one by one using a needle, bringing the vision of the artist to life.  Each bead is perfectly in place. This can easily be seen by clicking on each image where it will expand, showing the incredible detail of this art.  Because smaller size 15 seed beads – called ‘microbeads’ – are used instead of the more usual larger size 11, the required level of skill and artistry is unsurpassed.  This beautiful bowl displays a brilliant peyote, which covers the entire bowl.  The bowl has a beautifully detailed border in blue and red.  It can be displayed on a stand.

Prayer bowls have traditionally been used in Huichol ceremonies and hold offerings such as Eyes of God.  Here they hold the artist’s visions in beads.  The sacred symbol in this piece is the peyote, which allows communication with deities and ancestors.  This wonderful bowl will not disappoint!

The bowl is 3 1/4 inches in diameter and an inch deep.

Seen in real life, this bowl is imbued with the Huichol connection to the spirit world.

Do not place this art in hot direct sunlight.  This may soften the beeswax.  Otherwise, with gently handling, this art will stay in perfect shape.

Viewing the Art & How it is Made

The tiny chaquira, or seed beads, are applied by coating the surface of a carving or bowl with a beeswax mixture called campeche. The beads are then applied one by one using a needle. The vision of the artist comes to life as the beads are applied.

The beading is perfect with every bead in place. This can easily be seen by hovering over each image where it will expand, showing the incredible detail of this art.

The images may also be clicked to bring up a slideshow of enlarged images. Because smaller size 15 beads are used – called ‘microbeads’ – instead of the larger size 11, greater skill and artistry is required. The quality of the beading is unsurpassed!

Take care not to place this art in hot direct sunlight or near a hot lamp. This may soften the beeswax. Otherwise, with gently handling, this art will stay in perfect shape.
