They live in self-imposed isolation, having chosen long ago to make their home high in the mountains of the Sierra Madre Occidental, in Western Central Mexico. Huichol Art dates back millenia. During spiritual rituals the shaman (know as marakame) have visions which are then transcribed into carvings, yarn art, bead art, pottery etc. Each image has spiritual meaning. The huichol tribe uses many simbols as representations of their deities and other things they deem sacred in their culture. Most common ones are the peyote, the deer and the snake. -PLEASE READ THE SHIPPING INFORMATION AND POLICIES SECTION. -Feel fee to contact us if you have any doubts regarding shipment, payment and custom orders. -Keep in mind that the manequins and other displays used in the pictures are not anatomically accurate, and are only for showing purposes.
