Our Exquisite Corpse worked with the Huichol people of Mexico to create these beaded skulls. Each beautifully patterned and brightly coloured skull features intricate craftsmanship and are uniquely different from one another.
The Huichols believe in the power of the Sun God, ancestral spirits and four principal deities – Deer, Corn, Peyote and the Eagle. They live in the Sierra Madre Mountains of Western Mexico and have a long history in creating beaded art.
Our Exquisite Corpse has commissioned individual pieces from the most gifted artists. While most of the pieces are traditional, others are interpretations of contemporary designs. These unique beaded skulls are not only part of a limited collection, but remain a treasured piece of Huichol culture.
Each one of a kind Huichol skull is handed beaded using wax on a resin base and should be kept away from heat and the sun.
