Description

The snake is a very traditional animal for Huichol artists.  The snake deity communicates between the spiritual and physical world and instructs shaman to become healers.

Circular peyote lie down the back of the snake.  The peyote symbolize good luck, life, health and success.  The snake is 8.25″ in length and .75″ wide.

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

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.
