Mini Mayan Calendar

This mini Mayan calendar has been modelled in unglazed terracotta with an aged, stone-like finish, and recreates the glyphs and central figure of the original Mayan calendar in a compactform.

The Mayan calendar is one of the most sophisticated timekeeping systems ever devised, developed by the Maya civilisation over thousands of years. Its circular stone form — with its concentric rings of glyphs representing days, months, and cosmic cycles — has become one of the most iconic symbols of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, and a lasting testament to the intellectual brilliance of the Maya people.
