I saw this in the Museum of the popular cultures in Coyoacan, Mexico, and I was enraptured. I was reminded of how art is supposed to make you feel

All of these had anonymous authors, but we know they come from the Wixarika culture. To be honest I don't know much about their culture, but now I know these people can do ART

What I like most is the abundance of little guys, like this goofer over here

Or this guy with his dog

This dofus who seems to be casting a spell

Or this pal with a deer face, you just know he's up to something

But of course it's not just guys, there also many other beautiful characters, like the Deer God (it's not a play on words, one of their deities is Kauyamari, the Blue Deer)

This Phoenix looking bird

These guys who seem to be admiring, well, a sac of some kind...

Another instance of the Deer God and the Phoenix

And just a ton of cool scenes, like this one
