Multicolor Deer Huichol

The Huicholes call themselves “the healers.” For centuries, hidden away from the modern world and protected by the natural barrier the mountains afforded, the Huicholes have performed ceremonial rituals they believe heal the Earth and keep nature balanced. Key to the ceremonies is the ritual love offering of the white-tailed deer to their nature-deities. The blood of the deer nourishes the earth.” Bottom Gourd, Wax And Multicolor Beads animal representations. This pice las made by an unkown artisan from Jalisco.
