Mayan Midwife Hand-Carved Wood Sculpture of a Mayan Woman from Guatemala

Nicolas Chavez Sojuel

(5)

Guatemalan artisan Nicolas Chavez Sojuel designs a sculpture to depict a Mayan midwife standing atop a base, carving it by hand of cedar wood. Small details, such as the decorations on her clothing, the jewelry she wears, and her elaborate headdress are realized with a keen eye. In ancient Mayan society, Mayan noblewomen and midwives often wore decorative headdresses in order to accommodate enlarged craniums due to body alteration practices.

Sun God Wiracocha Andean Hand Tooled Leather Jewelry Box with the Sun God

Julio Sanchez

(41)

The Inca god Wiracocha stands proud in the firmament to crown a handsome jewelry chest. The original divinity of the people of Tiahuanaco, this god emerged from the waters of Lake Titicaca. He created the heavens, the earth, and the first generation of giants who inhabited the land in total darkness. Wiracocha is honored in the Inti Raymi, meaning "Festival of the Sun," in Cuzco, symbolizing the eternal consecration between the sun and his children — human beings.

Julio Sanchez crafts the box by hand to imitate a chest with six drawers and an upper compartment with a mirror. It closes with a lock and key. Each side features images of the tumi, a ceremonial blade used in ancient Peru for spiritual sacrifices, crowned with the effigy of a warrior.

Exquisite detail and craftmanship

This little jewelry box is visually stunning and beautifully made. I use it as a backdrop for necklaces I sell on-line and its warm color and detailed carvings provide a beautiful contrast to my sparkling jewelry. It is a perfect size for a gift to a teen girl to store her treasures.

Really cool jewelry box

I was looking at it for a long time and considering, and I decided buy it anyway. And it would be one of my treasures acquired via Novica, and I think it's an exquisite craftsmanship. I approach it to take a look at it all the time. I'm artist and I can appreciate design. I'm going to keep in it crystal collection. Thank you.
