Hand Carved Soapstone Maya Calendar

Found Pre-Owned Object | FREE SHIPPING

Hand-carved from soapstone, Maya-style calendar features a natural organic finish that highlights its intricate level of detail. Masters of sky-watching and time-keeping, the Maya of central Mexico exceled at astronomy, mathematics and writing, creating a 13-month, 28-day calendar, based on the moon — instead of the sun used by the Christian calendar. At the center of this hand-carved soapstone calendar is the physical representation of a god carrying the weight of the burden of time.
