Description
This Yarn Art is a one-of-a-kind art created by the indigenous Huichol people of Nayarit, Mexico. It is known as Nierikas and is made with colored yarns applied using a natural adhesive mixture of beeswax and resin over a wooden board representing the visions of the Huichol shamans during the ritual ceremonies.
There is an extensive description on the back written by the Huichol artist.
The description: “This is a sacred gourd with a serpent and an eagle that protect the peyotes. There are some windflowers and deer horns as offerings. They are all the presentation of history, culture, and tradition of Huichol.”
