Hand Made - GALLERY-QUALITY HUICHOL BEADED TURTLE – HAND-CARVED WOOD

Exceptional gallery-quality Huichol (Wixárika) bead art sculpture, handcrafted by Indigenous artisans of western Mexico and purchased in Puerto Vallarta approximately five years ago.

This piece features a hand-carved solid wood turtle, meticulously finished using the traditional beeswax bead technique, where each individual bead is pressed by hand into warmed beeswax. This is a slow, painstaking process requiring significant skill and time.

Highlights: • Large, substantial statement piece (see hand photos for scale) • Traditional beeswax-set beads (not glued, not mass-produced) • Extremely detailed geometric and spiritual symbolism • Turtle represents earth, protection, endurance, and ancestral wisdom • Excellent condition — well cared for • One-of-a-kind artisan work

Huichol beadwork is internationally collected, and pieces of this size and detail are increasingly difficult to find. Comparable works often sell in galleries for significantly more.

Perfect for: • Art & folk art collectors • Southwest / bohemian décor • A meaningful symbolic centerpiece • A unique, high-quality gift

Cash preferred. Local pickup. Reasonable offers considered.
