Miguel Díaz en México elabora esta maravillosa escultura pequeña de papel maché, aplicando cuentas de vidrio una por una en patrones elaborados en el estilo tradicional de las artesanías huicholes. La figura del oso está adornada con un tortuga o escorpión, una criatura que los huicholes creían que representaba protección. Los huicholes son un pueblo indígena del centro noroeste de México con una rica cultura y herencia artesanal.

A gorgeous and meaningful artwork. The beadwork is meticulous. The patterns and colours are mesmerising and vivid. And best of all it looks exactly like a jaguar! I love it and will treasure it. I also appreciated the wonderful wrapping and presentation, which meant this item was received in the UK in perfect condition. Wonderful. Warm cheers to Mexico!
