Authentic beaded jewelry, handmade by Huichol artisans in Mexico in the 1980's. Each piece is a vibrant link to the rich culture and connection to nature that embodies the Huichol way of life. The intricate bead work depicts many symbols common to the Huichols, such as deer, peyote, flowers, birds, scorpions, snakes and ceremonial arrows.
The Huichol—who call themselves the Wixárika—are an indigenous people of western Mexico whose culture and traditions remain among the most intact in Mesoamerica. They live primarily in remote mountain regions of the Sierra Madre Occidental, in the states of Jalisco, Nayarit, Durango, and Zacatecas.
Huichol beadwork is far more than decoration. Artists use tiny glass beads in two traditional ways: pressed into beeswax to create intricate mosaics, and carefully strung and woven to form belts, necklaces, purses, and other wearable or functional objects. The vivid designs depict sacred symbols drawn from their spiritual world—deer, maize, peyote, the sun, and ancestral stories. Each piece is both a work of art and a visual prayer, reflecting a deep connection to nature, ritual, and cultural memory passed down through generations.

Wow! Just when you thought you knew everything about Dennis Cathcart! This one was hard to put down. The stories Dennis retells reminded me of the old Tropiflora Cargo Reports. Exciting, adventurous, high drama set in some of the beautiful and sometimes dangerous jungles of the world. Even a sad story here and there…I had to put the book down for the day after reading about Big Red. If you’re a fan of Tropiflora, you need to read this book!
