- Lot Description
Raymundo de la Rosa Martinez (Mexican Wixarika / Huichol, 20th century) ca. late 20th century CE. A vivid yarn painting depicting a cosmological birth scene, created by Huichol artist Raymundo de la Rosa Martinez. Made by pressing yarn into a beeswax-coated wooden board, the composition is rendered entirely in black and white - a rare departure from the vibrant color palettes typical of Huichol art. The imagery shows a divine female figure giving birth, surrounded by assisting figures beneath a symbolic mountain form, all framed in bands of pink, red, and orange yarn. According to the handwritten Spanish inscription on the reverse, the work references Tatey Yurienaca, the first woman to give birth to the boy who blessed the Earth and the world. Steeped in Huichol spiritual belief, the piece embodies themes of divine origin and fertility, centered around the sacred figure Tatey Yurienaca and the deer god Kauyumari. A compelling visual narrative tied to the Huichol's ritual and mythic traditions. Size: 11.75" L x 11.75" W (29.8 cm x 29.8 cm)
Provenance: Ralph T. Coe Center for the Arts, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA; Gift from Edward J. Guarino, June 2017
