Handmade Huichol Egg Ornaments
November 18, 2013
Add a piece of Mexican culture to this year's Christmas tree! La Fuente Imports is proud to offer one of the most artistic collections of Huichol Indian beadwork available anywhere on the web including beautiful ornaments. Each ornament was created by pressing tiny glass beads into natural beeswax spread over a paper-mache form. Huichol bead art is made in limited quantities by the Huichol and Tepehuano Indians of southwestern Mexico.
The Huichols express these feelings through their art, which is made not from the standpoint of decoration, but to give profound expression to deep spiritual beliefs. This makes traditional Huichol art, whether it be meticulous beadwork, yarn paintings, wooden masks, or striking embroidered and woven personal adornments, beautiful not only from its aesthetic standpoint but from the psychological as well.
Each beaded ornament is available in two sizes plus comes with a string for hanging on your Christmas tree. Show your inner Santa Claus by slipping one of these unique Huichol ornaments in everyone's Christmas stocking! Feliz Navidad from La Fuente Imports.
