Sacred Yellow Paint

Handmade indigenous artwork from the Wixárika (Huichol Tribe)

This one-of-a-kind yarn painting is crafted by the visionary Wixárika artist and mara-akame (shaman), Eligio Carrillo. Eligio’s yarn paintings hold profound spiritual significance, serving as Nierikas, or sacred doorways to the divine—each piece is a passage into the spiritual world as envisioned by the shaman.

Artist's Description: Symbol: This is a part of the ancient ones, from long ago, when they forgot their sacred paint. The travelers of Real de Catorce discovered it — a very special yellow paint, found only in the one place where it had been left behind and forgotten. Later, the Mara'akame rediscovered it through the power of Kauyumari (Deer spirit).
