Hexagonal brightly coloured wool fan woven around a length of cane. Brown, pink and green wool.
An object representing the 'Eye of God' placed on altars to protect very young children. Used by the Huichol people of the Sierra Madre region in north western Mexico, these are part of their religious beliefs which have maintained due to the Huichol people's deliberate isolation and resistance to religious conversion. The 'God's Eye' offers protection to children under the age of five, and the ones intended for protective use can be incredibly complex as their weaving contains lots of symbolism.
