Hand-Woven Huichol-Style Seed Bead Flower Pendant

This item is a meticulously crafted flower-shaped pendant, representative of Huichol (Wixárika) or similar Indigenous Latin American beadwork. The piece is constructed from small glass seed beads in a vibrant palette of orange, yellow, black, white, and green. The design features eight symmetrical petals radiating from a central green cluster. Each petal is outlined in bright orange with a yellow interior, separated by black bead lines that add depth and definition. A small loop of green beads at the top serves as an integrated bail for a cord or chain. The construction utilizes a complex weaving technique, likely a brick stitch or peyote stitch variant, which yields a firm yet slightly flexible structure. The craftsmanship is highly consistent, with uniform bead sizes and tight tension, indicating high-quality handiwork. There are no visible manufacturer marks, which is common for artisanal folk art. Based on the material and style, this is a contemporary piece probably made within the last 20 years. The condition appears excellent with no missing beads, frayed threads, or visible discoloration, suggesting it has been well-preserved or is relatively new.
