Our Exquisite Corpse Skulls by Catherine Martin



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 Huichol people believe in the power of the Sun God, ancestor spirits and the four principle deities - Deer, Corn, Peyote and the Eagle. They live in the Sierra Madre Mountains of Western Mexico and habe a long history of creating beaded art. These unique beaded skulls are not only part of a limited collection, but remain a treasured piece of Huichol culture.
