Huichol Yarn and Bead Art

We just added a great selection of Huichol Yarn and Bead art to our website. We even added a new category so you can see it all together. For the first time ever, we now have Huichol Yarn animals. These are just like our bead art, but made with yarn instead. Selection includes amazing little jaguar heads as pictured here.

The Huichol Indians have used decorative art pieces as offerings to the Gods for centuries. These inspired pieces of art are created with colorful yarns painstakingly placed on a beeswax and pine resin mixture that was spread on a wooden base. Along with the artists signature on the back of this piece the artist has written... in Spanish... an explanation of the symbolism of the art. The Indians work their spiritual symbols and designs into each piece.
