Huichole Ethnic Crafts
(back to Wood heading)

Ethnic Crafts from the Huichole Indians, who live in the rugged mountain ranges of the States of Jalisco and Nayarit, have come to be extremely appreciated because of their aesthetic value. Unique to Mexico, born from their rich traditions, the Huicholes beaded votive gourds make delightful cups for your desk, a place to set your keys and loose change, a place you will always remember where to look, and they are true art pieces in their own right. Gourds come in all diameter and are typically covered in bright, Nature oriented themes. Also made are beaded boards typically decorated in Native characters depicting stories or complete scenes.

Also unique to the Huicholes are the ceremonial boards made from dyed yarn. They are well made, and very attractive, colorful art pieces and when framed will add a flair of authentic Indian culture to any Western decor or restaurant setting and will certainly accent open, airy rooms with tile or brick flooring. An even more unique item are the carved Huichole beaded wooden masks. There is a waiting list for them but we can get them with our friendship with the artisans.

We enjoy all Huichole items and keep them in stock but for the masks; the beaded gourds are very popular and the Huichole boards are not that easy to locate, but we have them, and we can get the masks. E-mail us to order and include your sizing and color preferences. We also have very many beautiful and well done beaded bracelets and necklaces.
If you do not see it, ask us, impossible to show everything. Thank you for visiting our web pages and if you do come to Saltillo, please visit us at our very nice
