Jose Benitez Sanchez is one of the most recognized Huichol artists. He just finished a show at
the University of Santa Barbara. This show was an extension of the 'Mystic Visions' exhibition 
by Peter Furst at the University of Pennsyvania in Philidelphia.  Sanchez was the featured artist
in Artes de Mexico, a recent publication on Huichol art.

The photo shows a bright turquois light blue background in daylight. 
Note there are two 5-mm holes in the border about an inche from the lower left corner.  A frame will cover them nicely.

  Here we see Tatewari himself, as our grandfather, lord of fire, when he was returning from his work.  He presented what he had found, and it was received from him by his mother, who is represented here as Tate Yurianaka, our mother fertile earth.  These are Ketsite, maybe Katsute.  They seem to be lizards, and so he asked what can rise above the underworld.  She answered, "they may be eaten". 

  We can see our grandfather as the main figure on the upper left.  The main figure on the bottom right is our mother earth, who is, according to this, his mother.  He is presenting them to her and she is saying they may be eaten after he has found her after a day's work.  I think that they are over a fire.  They will be thrown into the fire where they will be cooked. 

  Above the lizards is the house where he established himself.  On the second level the earth is like a shrine, a god house.  I do not think there is much more here in this yarn painting to be described, we can call it "Our grandfather fire Returns From Hunting Lizards”,  but I'm not sure what kind of a lizard that is, so we can put quotation marks to denote that. (see full painting below)
