HUICHOL INDIAN ART OF MEXICO
The items are a thing of beauty. The humble tribe known as the Huichol Indians of Mexico takes painstaking time to make each of these one of a kind items.
They handcraft the underlain wood, and then add the wax onto it, in this wax they will place thousands of beads one at a time to create these dazzling images.
Not found in any store these will make a fine decoration in any home, or a one of a kind piece for a collector.
The wood is shaped into the figures of visions many have while under the state of Peyote. They carve the visions they see into the shapes. Most of the items are used only once for ceremonial purposes and have become collector’s items to those willing to pay the price for one of these items.
Don't be fooled by imitations and reproductions, my father travels to Mexico to get these items first hand from the members of the Huichol Tribe. NO FAKES HERE!
Below you will read about these marvelous people.
Living in small scattered settlements high in the Sierra Madre Mountains of central-west Mexico is an indigenous tribe of very unique and magical people - the Huichol Indians.
The extreme remoteness of the territory and rugged mountain ranges spared the Huichols from being conquered by the Spaniards and from being substantially changed by the Mexican culture.
They remain one of the last tribes of people in North America who still live much as they did in pre-Colombian times, maintaining the same ageless rituals and beliefs. They are considered by many anthropologists to be an invaluable window to the past.
The Huichol consider themselves "Mirrors of the Gods" and strive to reflect a sacred vision of the world, both physically and spiritually. To the Huichol, everything is alive and has a soul (called Kupuri) and is therefore divine.
These deeply religious people have a belief structure which encompasses every aspect of life and includes worship of multiple deities through offerings and prayers.
Tile Huichol use their mode of dress as another important form of religious expression. Their highly ornate and colorful clothing is said to give pleasure to the gods, ensuring their benevolence and protection of the Huichol.
The Huichol are highly creative people who reflect their strong ceremonial traditions and rich mythology in their visionary art work. These visions are often inspired by their peyote god, whose divine gift enables the Huichol to communicate with all their gods. These mystical experiences can only be told by the tribal shamans, but all tribal members are encouraged to express them through their art and offerings to the gods.
Through their art work, whether it be the beaded art (called Chaquira), yarn paintings (called Nearika), or their embroidery, the Huichol encode and document their spiritual beliefs.
Anthropologists consider this a significant part of their culture, for the Huichol have never developed a written language.
Clearly, the beliefs of the Huichol Indians are very complex and elaborate. They involve myth, shamanism, ritual, peyote, prayer and ceremony. As was true in pre-Colombian times, much of their current art continues to depict these religious themes and serve as a means of passing on countless mystical stories.
Therefore, anyone fortunate enough to own a piece of Huichol art has more than a beautiful work of art - they are honored to hold a part of the Huichol culture, adorned with designs and motifs of individual historical and spiritual significance to the Huichol Indians of the Upper Sierra Madre Mountains.
