Huichol Beaded Mexican Folk Art Owl By Mayola Villa Lopez PP2962

Welcome to Peyote People

My name is Kevin and together with my wife Beatriz we run a small gallery in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico that works directly with the Huichol Indians that live in San Andres Cohamiata, Jalisco. This is piece was done with the new Czech #13 glass micro beads that are almost half the size of the regular beads so the details are absolutely incredible. This is a phenomenal piece that measures 4" tall, 7"wide and is 4" deep. Mayola Villa Lopez is the grandaughter of Jacinto Lopez Ramirez, an older Huichol shaman considered to be the grandfather of the commercial bead art. Honorio lives in Agua Zarca the families ranch about 2 hours from San Andres Cohamiata the ancient Ceremonial Center deep in the Sierra Madre Mountains of Western Mexico.
