Huichol Mexican Folk Art Yarn Painting by Cooperativa Zitacua Direct from Mexico

Stunning handmade Huichol yarn painting. The images never capture how stunning these are in person. This extraordinary yarn painting measures 48″ x 48″. The Wixarika (Huichol) people are internationally acclaimed for their artwork. This piece is adorned with symbology from their culture. Each is made by pressing thin strands of acrylic yarn into a beeswax foundation spread over a wood board. The symbols within the art have great meaning to the Huichol. Carl Lumholtz, one of the first to study the Huichol, wrote in 1901 – “All sacred things are symbols to primitive man, and the Huichol seem literally to have no end of them. Religion is to them a personal matter, not an institution, and therefore their life is religious – from the cradle to the grave wrapped up in symbolism.“  The price includes shipping to the continental United States.
