The rugged mountains and remote villages of the Sierra de Nayarit north of Guadalajara are the homeland of roughly ten to fourteen thousand Huichol Indians. The Huichols express their feelings through their art, which is made not from the standpoint of decoration, but to give profound expression to deep spiritual beliefs. This makes traditional Huichol art, whether it be meticulous beadwork, yarn paintings, wooden masks, or striking embroidered and woven personal adornments, beautiful not only from its aesthetic standpoint but from the psychological as well.This hand-made mask is a “one of a kind” and a beautiful superior example of the artistic Huichol Indian beadwork. It was made by first spreading a thin layer of beeswax over the wooden form and then meticulously pushing small glass beads into the wax to create complex patterns and symbols. All without a pattern of any sort!! The significance of the symbols and color choices used by the Huichol Indians tell the story of each piece, and are a precious legacy worthy of preservation because they remain so unmistakably Native American. This hand-made mask is a “one of a kind” superior example of the art that is created by these talented Huichol Indians.Seller would be happy to provide a photo of the gentleman that created the mask to the winning bidder.
