Huichol Beaded Cat Figurine Mexican Folk Art Ethnic Kitten Kitty Sculpture
Huichol Mexican Indian folk art is truly unique and all handmade by the indigenous people of the Sierra Madre mountains in Jalisco, Mexico.
Beautiful, multi-colored, glass beaded, handmade resin/fishbone cat figurine sculpture.  100% authentic and handmade by Mexican Huichol Indian
Isaias Bautista Carrillo, Turatemai, in Mexico.  Using the traditional Huichol techniques of pressing Campeche beeswax onto this kitty cat sculpture and adding, one-by-one, glass beads this bright and colorful cat depicts the offering message to the Huichol Gods.
Measurements:
Height: 2.75"
Side to Side: 2.6"
Front to Back: 1.8"
Symbols are very important for communication by the Huichol.
On a clear pink with metallic pink center glass beaded background, Isaias used gorgeous white pearl beads with metallic pink bead accents for the symbols.  Interesting how the golden color of the Campeche wax shows through these clear pink beads and, at different angles, the metallic pink centers really sparkle.
His (or her) cute cat face has black and platinum gray pearl Peyote flower eyes, a metallic pink beaded mouth and perky ears.  Two white pearl Peyote flowers and a Messenger Deer adorn his cheeks and chin.
On his back, two white pearl bead large Peyote flowers have platinum pearl centers and metallic pink bead accents.
A fabulous white pearl beaded scorpion with a metallic God's Eye in her middle protects the Peyote and protects a small white pearl baby scorpion.
His cute little right paw is lifted and he is sitting on a base of metallic pink and platinum gray pearl beads.
We love how Isaias turned some of the metallic beads sideways for extra sparkle.  His use of metallics is amazing!  This is one of our favorite pieces.
Note:  The metallic beads are more valued by the Huichol and cost double compared to the regular beads.
He's (or she's) awesome and a beautiful gift for a cat lover.
