INSPIRATION
ABOUT
Mesoamerica is a pendant inspired by the stone of the sun, sometimes called the Aztec calendar. This huge stone kept at the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City, was probably a Cuauhxicalli or sacrificial receptacle and altar. It dated 1479.
We have only represented the first circles. The first shows a head mixing the sun god (tonatiuth) and the earth (Tlaltecuhtli). In the second we have symbols of the gods Ehecatl, Texcatlipoca, Tlaloc and Chalchiuhtlicue, in an evocation of the legend of the 4 suns (creation of the world). The last circle represents the 20 glyphs of the days of the month.
The back is engraved with a date calculated according to the tzolkin and haab calendars of the Mayas.
Metal: sterling silver.
Dimension: 3cm diameter.
Finish: oxidized and shiny.
If you would like a pendant inspired with the same style, do not hesitate to contact us for a custom order.
As we currently dwell in Mexico, provide a period of 3 to 6 weeks to receive your order. Thank you for taking this information into account before ordering in our shop (please, read the complete conditions of shipping here).

I hope you will love this jewel as much as I enjoyed creating it.
