Description

This traditional Wixarika Huichol necklace is intricately adorned with beads. Made in the San Luis Potosi region of Mexico, in Real de Catorce, a mountain town above Wirrikuta, the Peyote Gardens, this piece is made by hand. It measures about 21" long.

 

The Indigenous Mexican Wixarika Huichol artists create intricate art pieces using traditional Wixarika symbols and allies. Representations of sacred objects, ceremonies, and the Wixarika cosmovision are depicted in these traditional artworks. 

Artisans are compensated fairly for their art and sales of these items further support Indigenous led projects that perpetuate spiritual traditions in their communities.
