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.

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.
