This is a Huichol beaded snake sculpture, a traditional piece of Mexican folk art handcrafted by the indigenous Huichol (Wixarika) people.
It features a hand-carved wooden base covered in a layer of beeswax or resin, with tiny, brightly colored glass beads pressed into the intricate geometric and sacred patterns one by one.
In Huichol art, the snake is a significant spiritual symbol often linked with water, fertility, and the rain deities.
