As in all our Huichol beaded art, the sacred symbols and use of color on this pot are breathtaking. The tiny chaquira, or seed beads, are applied by coating the surface of the small creramic pot with a special beeswax mixture. Then beads are applied one by one using needles. The vision of the artist comes to life as the beads are applied. The beading is perfect with every bead in place. This can easily be seen by clicking on each image where it will expand, showing the incredible detail of this art.

The sacred symbol on this piece is a row of shaman around the pot.
It is 2.5 inches in diameter and 2 inches tall.

This piece is created with size 11 beads which are larger than are used on our other Huichol pieces, where smaller size 14 beads are used. The smaller size bead allows more detail. This piece, created with larger beads, is wonderful on its own as well.
Do not place this art in hot direct sunlight. This may soften the beeswax. Otherwise, with gently handling, this art will stay in perfect shape.
