🔸 The Tale Behind the Art:

This art piece is an homage to the celebrated ball game, “Pokolpok”, cherished by the Mayans. Recognized as one of the world’s primordial team sports and often deemed a precursor to soccer, the game entailed two teams battling it out to guide a rubber ball through hoops. Intriguingly, the ball wasn’t just any regular one; it was crafted from the sap of a tree which was then fashioned into rubber. A game of skill, players could only use their hips, shoulders, and elbows to maneuver the ball.

Framing this intricate portrayal is the legendary Quetzalcoatl, an emblem of health and prosperity, alongside the enigmatic Mayan calendar.

Every carving comes with its own tale and unique design, owing to its handmade nature. Slight variations are a testament to its handcrafted charm.
