About the Huichol:

Mexico’s Huichol people are members of an autonomous and resilient culture that dates back to pre-Columbia times. It is a culture rich in art, symbolism, folklore, plant knowledge ,and spirituality. Many anthropologists consider the population--whose 15,000 people inhabit the remote mountain canyons of Jalisco and Nayarit—to be one of the most intact tribes in the Western Hemisphere. These pieces were handmade by Angela in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

Bracelets- geometric

$35

This top bracelet has dark blue, leaf green, and turquoise beads with zigzags, triangles, and diamond patterns with a tiny orange flowers in the middle of yellow diamonds. This represents Energy with Medicinal Flowers.
This second bracelet is bordered with indigo beads, with dark green, mauve and black background beads and peyote flowers of yellows, oranges, and reds. Jicuri, the peyote plant, is considered the plant of life, promoting harmonious relations with the gods.

The geometric intricacy of Huichol art reflects the patterns of primordial archetypes present within each of us. Their art is a literal physical translation of imagery seen during their expanded state of awareness, induced by their sacred cactus. This art is a tangible manifestation of their experience in the realm of the gods for each of us to see, touch, and commune with, becoming vehicles for our own contemplation and transformation.
Beautiful hand made beaded bracelet made with medium glass beads (1mm)- 4.5 X 19cm and 4.5 X 21.5cm respectively.
