This is a slightly more modern take on traditional Wixárika (Huichol) jaguar heads. Instead of base made from wood, the head is formed using the more ecologically-friendly cartonería, a hard papier mache, a growing and innovative craft in Mexico. Miguel Díaz is a Wixárika artist keeping symbols such as the peyote and the deer as seen on this piece. The beads are placed one-by-one attached with beeswax that Díaz prepares, and the piece can be displayed on either a wall or a table.

"This buffalo is Awesome"
Pictures do not do this buffalo justice. The seed work is meticulous. I am in awe of this magnificent animal and have a large collection of buffalo figures. This seeded figure is one of my favorites.
