Chihuahua Dog - Huichol Art
Huichol Art - With the characteristic patience of the Huichol people, the artist's hands transform the tiny chaquira beads into beautiful motifs, the chaquiras are adhered to the piece that has been previously covered with the ahesivo (campeche wax). The result is a true explosion of color, full of symbols sacred to the Huichol culture. A must-see for lovers of Mexico's rich culture authentic. The Huichol culture is guided by pre-Columbian shamanic traditions linked to ceremonies performed in their historical past. The hicuri (peyote) is the centerpiece of Huichol ritualism, revered for its healing properties and its ability to enlighten the one who partakes of it.
Technique of elaboration: Beeswax is placed on the figure until it is completely covered, then the beads are glued one by one until it is completed; in its elaboration the Huichol artist develops diverse drawings and symbols representative of his culture and traditions.
Maintenance: To prevent the tiny chaquira beads from loosening and peeling off, do not expose this piece directly to heat or light, as this may melt the Campeche wax (beeswax) adhesive and cause damage to the piece.
