PP1717 Magnificent Hand Beaded Huichol Mexican Folk Art Boar By Florencio

Description

Welcome to Peyote People, my name is Kevin and together with my wife Beatriz we run a small gallery in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico that works directly with the Huichol Indians that live in San Andres Cohamiata, Jalisco.
Dimensions
This is a real boar skull that is 5 Inches in height, 5inches wide, and 10 Inches long.
The true art however is very difficult to find. It does not come from Huichol that live in the city, but rather those who actually live in the sierra, those who are involved in doing the ceremonies and rituals that make up what it means to be Huichol. Florencio Lopez the son of Don Jacinto Lopez Ramirez, one of the founding fathers of the bead art. Florencio's family, as one of the pioneering families of the art, has been doing the bead art for over 30 years.
