Cathrine Martin created a limited edition of beaded skulls, called Our Exquisite Corpse, with the Huichol people of Western Mexico.

The Huichol people believe in the power of the Sun God, ancestor spirits and the four principle deities – Deer, Corn, Peyote and the Eagle…This Huichol skull is hand beaded on a layer of wax, so should be kept away from heat and the sun. Please remember to support the jaw.
