Xch’ulel (Life)
This piece embodies the essence of life as described in the Popol Vuh, reflecting the awakening of nature’s beauty in the earliest moments of creation. It evokes a primordial harmony, where life emerges with both strength and delicacy, guided by ancestral knowledge and spiritual balance.
The orchid, carved in green jade, stands as the central symbol of the work, representing purity, fertility, and life. The jade flower is complemented by elements crafted in .950 sterling silver, with refined 24K gold details that enhance its sacred and luminous character. Together, these noble materials reinforce the message of continuity, renewal, and spirituality that defines Xch’ulel.
