This month we introduce the intricate, colorful prayer bowls of the Huichol Indians of Mexico. A deeply religious people, Huichol (pronounced Wee-chol) beliefs are evident in their art. Their prayer bowls are made of hollowed out gourds coated with beeswax, then painstakingly lined with seed beads, one at a time. Each bowl is one-of-a-knd. Symbols include deer, eagles, scorpions, snakes, and peyote. See a collection of Huichol prayer bowls on our specials page. All bowls ship with a detailed introduction to their symbolism.

Church shop wholesale inquiries are welcome.

Peace.
