Handmade in Guatemala of Czech and Japanese glass beads.Beading was introduced to Guatemala in the 1970s and now constitutes one of the major handcrafts in that country. Mayan women use sewing needles to quickly and carefully grab the beads and weave them into a design. As beads accrue, the sculpture emerges. Beaders must learn to weave or sculpt each new design separately, and to achieve the uniformity necessary they must memorize hundreds of steps for each figure. Very good beaders can produce up to two figurines in a day.Please note: Because this is a seasonal item, when we sell out we will not be able to get more for this holiday season.
