20 oz Insulated Tumbler – Wixárika Art, Multicolor
Carry a piece of art with you that is also part of your daily routine. This 20 oz insulated tumbler keeps your drinks hot or cold and has been completely hand-decorated with Wixárika art, inspired by elements of the Wixárika people's cosmology and spiritual universe.
Each tiny glass seed bead was placed individually onto the tumbler using an epoxy adhesive, ensuring the design is durable and functional for everyday use.
The design features a composition rich in color and symbolism. Elements include representations of peyote—associated with wisdom, knowledge, and spiritual guidance—as well as the deer, considered an elder brother and a guiding figure on the Wixárika spiritual path.
More than mere decoration, each figure is part of a visual language representing a specific way of understanding and relating to the world.
The glass seed beads retain their color and do not fade, while the epoxy adhesive finish ensures they remain firmly attached to the tumbler.
Each piece is crafted and decorated entirely by hand by Wixárika artisans; therefore, slight variations in color, shape, or detail are part of its artisanal character and make every tumbler unique.
The decoration process requires over 10 hours of craftsmanship, ranging from color selection and design composition to the individual placement of each bead.
Features:
A functional piece that is also an expression of art, tradition, and Wixárika cosmology. By acquiring it, you take home a handmade creation in which every bead is part of a story and a worldview.
