- Lot Description
Latin America, Mexico, Sierra Madre Occidental range, Huichol or Wixarika people, ca. 1980s CE. A vibrant hand-embroidered textile panel by a Huichol (Wixarika) artisan, Mexico, dating to the 1980s, mounted within a protective glass frame. The composition is formed of repeated octagonal medallions in alternating arrangements, each enclosing a stylized cross motif radiating from a central point and surrounded by stepped, spiral, and petal-like elements. The design is rendered in a luminous palette of yellow, green, red, pink, turquoise, and cobalt blue, creating a rhythmic interplay of color and form. For the Wixarika people, intricate embroidery is more than decorative - it is an expression of cultural identity, spiritual belief, and connection to the natural and divine realms. Size of panel: 18" W x 9" H (45.7 cm x 22.9 cm); of frame: 20.5" W x 12.75" H (52.1 cm x 32.4 cm)
The geometric symmetry and repeated motifs seen here echo patterns found in Wixarika beadwork, textiles, and yarn paintings, where each color can carry symbolic meaning: green for the natural world, blue for water and rain, yellow for the sun and warmth, and red for life force and sacred offerings. This panel's precision and vibrancy speak to the artisan's mastery of the craft, while its preservation within a frame has maintained the crispness of its stitches and the saturation of its colors. Both a striking work of folk art and a document of Wixarika cultural heritage, it offers viewers an enduring glimpse into the meditative discipline and symbolic richness of Huichol embroidery traditions.
Provenance: Ralph T. Coe Center for the Arts, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, received as a gift in June 2017; ex-collection of Edward J. Guarino
