HUICHOL INDIAN YARN ART PAINTING COLLECTION – 10-inch

 Number:  10x10-1

JS42-93

 Artist:  Jose Benitez Sanchez  
 Title: Cauyumarie Makes Medicine  
Here we see Cauyumarie on the left, forming an herb, a plant as a remedy for the disease of the spleen and this remedy is called ‘chacumi’ (not clearly visible) in Huichol.   We see a ill person lying down, with a feather attached to his hand, which is the feather of healing.   And we see two plants, one is a bulb with leaves coming outwards from it and the other one is a stock.   I think JB Sanchez is talking about medicinal plants in general, because Vaye in Huichol means medicine.

- Jose Benitez Sanchez - 1973 - 10x10 inches; yarn on wasp wax over plywood.
