Lancing symmetrical beams, the solar disk glows with ancestral symbols. Huichol artisans
portrays the sun, father of the Huichol people. In the fiery rays, the mara'akame (shaman) appears; Six-sided peyote flowers, or jikuri, graces each cheek in precise symmetry. Huichol
artisans painstakingly apply beads to copalillo wood to create this elegant piece.

people.

He first carves the sculpture from palo dulce wood. The
intricate motifs are formed with tiny chaquira beads, placed one at a time with a needle. Beeswax is used instead of glue.
