Paquime Gallery

One of Los Cabos leading folk art galleries, Paquime specializes in Mata Ortiz pottery and Huichol Indian art. The village of Mata Ortiz is located in Chihuahua, near the ancient Mesoamerican city of Paquime, where traditional pottery has been practiced for over a thousand years, without benefit of a potter's wheel. Paquime Gallery takes its name from this ancient city, and features some superb pieces from modern Mata Ortiz master Juan Quezada. The Huichol Indians live in the Sierra Madre mountains , and produce some striking Pre-Columbian style art, often featuring animal figures adorned with colorful yarn and beads. Contemporary Mexican art is also showcased at the gallery.
