These "Sukuli Ampa" Bowls Were Used To Represent Petitions To The Huichol Gods, Where They Would Expect Them To Satiate Their Thirst. Today, They Are A Manifestation Of Their Culture. The Huichol Tribe Assigns A Color To Each Of Their Five Cardinal Points, North, South, East, West, and Center. Huichol Art Is A Conceptual Extension Of Their Existence. It's The Collective Memory Of A Culture, Captured In Colors, Nature Clamped In Beads, Vital Energy Of Their Religion Living In Their Finery. The Colors That The Huichol Artists Choose To Decorate Their Pieces, Are In And Of Themselves, The Message. Through Them, They Ask Of Their Gods And Communicate With Them.
