Description

This beautiful cross is created with blue, green, white, yellow and red beads.  The sacred symbols used in this piece are white deer heads and a green ceremonial candle.  Just as crosses occur everywhere in Mexican life, the Huichol have incorporated it into their culture.  The dimensions are 5.25 inches tall, 3.5 inches wide and .75 inches deep.  The beads are applied to a dark wood carving.  There is a hole in the back for hanging.  It may be displayed on a stand as well.  The cross will have a vibrancy wherever it is located.  Our customers always say how special these crosses are.

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.
