I am posting this message for the Art Gallery at Haifa University.

The Gallery has about 20 Mexican yarn paintings: colorful pictures made
of wool strands glued to a plywood backing. They depict stylised
symbolic and mythological figures and motifs in many colors. On the
reverse of some of the works are poems handwritten in what seems to be a
Spanish-Mexican dialect containing many non-Spanish words. Some of these
texts are followed by names (signatures?): J. Jose Benite Sanchez and
Reimundo de la Rosas.
The Gallery also has 10 "god's eyes": wooden dowels tied together
crosswise, wound with colored wool, to which are bound colored diagonal
squares of wool.

We think these may be Huichol works. Can anyone give more information or
suggest other sources?  Did other Mexican peoples besides the Huichol
produce this type of work?

Thank you.
