Our Children Black and Grey Beaded Skull Figurine with Huichol Symbols

Higinio Hernandez Carrillo

(20)

The diamond-shaped talismans are known as the "eyes of God" come together to form a rrurabe, one of the guardian stars that accompany the shaman. Children's faces peek out around it. "These are our children who are no longer with us. They can be found in the eye of God," Higinio Hernandez Carrillo confides. Jicuri — a six-sided peyote cactus bud of — appears on the forehead of this intricately beaded skull. Jicuri is revered for its curative properties and its ability to enlighten the one who partakes of it. Teruka, the scorpion, scuttles around the base. He is the guardian of the corn and must receive gifts before the harvest. The talented artisan coats the image with beeswax and places the tiny seed beads one by one to create the symbols of his people.

Do not expose this piece to direct heat or light, as it could soften the wax adhesive and thus loosen the beads.
