Unusual Huichol Indian Art

Angela was able to interview a Huichol Shaman on her recent trip to Jalisco about their Day-of-the-Dead celebrations. The Huichol have never used skeleton symbology in their traditional bead and yarn work in the past, but have agreed to make some limited edition pieces for our customers. Ancestors will be portrayed as skeletons and the scenes will represent their sacred ceremonies. This amazing work is intricate & beautiful. We have received these items with the Huichol Day of the Dead symbology. Yarn painting was done by Excelente Castro, a great, young, Huichol artist.


Double Prayer Stick made and used by Huichol Indians in their ceremonies. Attached items are symbols important to them. Spiritual item for your altar or home. A1010 $20.
