'Shaman with the Mother'
 
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.
The Huichol Artisan sculpted the sun from copalillo wood and covered it with colorful icons of their 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.
