Experience the artistry and mystique of ancient Mesoamerica with this Mayan Carved Mug, inspired by inscriptions dating back to the 3rd century BCE. The glyphs adorning this earth-toned mug are based on carvings found above a doorway in Yaxchilán, representing a ritual of protection meant to safeguard a building and its inhabitants.

 

Each symbol has been hand-sand-carved into the surface of the mug, giving it a rich texture and authentic feel. Both functional and meaningful, it’s a perfect blend of history, craftsmanship, and utility — ideal for your morning coffee or traditional Mayan drinking chocolate.

 

Whether you’re a history lover, linguist, archaeologist, or art enthusiast, this mug makes a thoughtful and distinctive gift that connects past and present.
