Description
This beautiful prayer bowl, or ‘jicara’, is created using the bottom of a gourd which forms a bowl. It contains two yellow deer called ‘maxa’
Prayer bowls have traditionally been used in Huichol ceremonies and hold offerings such as corn or deer hair. Here they hold the artist’s visions in beads. The deer, Kauyumari, leads the Huichol toward divine insight and the healers on their journeys. Seen in real life, this wonderful bowl is imbued with the Huichol connection to the spirit world and will not disappoint!
The bowl is 2 inches in diameter and 3/4 inch deep and can be displayed on a stand.
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.
