The Huichols are an indigenous people who live mostly in Northern Central Mexico. From what I understand through my brief Wikipedia readings, much of their art is based on their religious symbolism – emanating from yearly ritualistic travels into the desert to find and take Peyote. Each animal or figure presents a different experience which they had in the peyote ritual.
Over a thousand photos of different pieces of this sort can be seen/bought here.
