Maya Figure
Inspired by an ancient Maya figurine believed to have originated from the island of Jaina, in Campeche. The piece represents a blue flower from which an elderly figure emerges, with crossed arms, bare chest, toothless mouth, and a face full of wrinkles, symbolizing wisdom and experience.
This figure carries a bead on its chest, and its expression could represent rebirth or the appearance of a deity, reflecting the deep connection of the Maya culture with the cycle of life and nature.
