This beautiful handcrafted hummingbird sculpture is adorned with traditional Wixárika (Huichol) yarn-work designs, each symbol carrying a layer of sacred meaning. The hummingbird itself is a revered creature, often associated with energy, vitality, and blessings. In Huichol belief, birds are messengers—creatures of freedom who carry prayers to the gods.
On the body of this hummingbird, the artist has included meaningful symbols:
The Turtle – an emblem of rain, patience, and the steady forces of nature. Turtles accompany the Rain Goddess and are believed to help bring life-giving water.
Flower motifs – symbols of fertility, renewal, and the continual blooming of life, often linked to the divine feminine.
Radiating lines and star-like forms – representing spiritual illumination and guidance.
Carved from natural wood and hand-decorated, this piece beautifully blends form and meaning.
