• Tz’ikin means “bird” or “feather,” representing freedom and spiritual connection.
• Yaxché refers to the sacred ceiba tree, often associated with the axis of the world and the connection between heaven, earth, and the underworld.

The feather symbolizes freedom, spiritual connection, and the sacred link between the earth and the sky. The copper adds strength and grounding, while the jequirity beans — with their vibrant red and black hues — carry deep cultural significance, representing nature’s abundance and the Mayan community’s deep reverence for the earth.

Handcrafted with care. Inspired by nature and the timeless Mayan traditions of Lake Atitlán.
