Experience the artistry and mystique of ancient Mesoamerica with this Mayan Carved Mug, inspired by inscriptions dating back to the 3rd century BCE.

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.
