Original framed Huichol/Wixárika yarn painting from Mexico, attributed on the reverse to noted Huichol artist Crescencio Pérez Robles.
This vibrant handmade work features traditional symbolic imagery rendered entirely in brightly colored yarn, including deer, birds, plant forms and ceremonial geometric motifs against a rich green background.
Huichol yarn paintings are traditionally created by pressing individual strands of yarn into a beeswax/resin-coated wooden surface, producing an intricate textured composition closely associated with Wixárika spiritual and cultural traditions.
The reverse retains extensive handwritten Spanish text describing the imagery and symbolism, along with the name Crescencio Pérez Robles. Pérez Robles is a documented Huichol yarn artist whose work has been referenced in museum and educational collections.
