GUATEMALAN JADE CARVING OF MAYAN CORN GOD 

• This detailed carving is made from a unique speckled green. We love how the artist left the brown crust of the jade showing.
• The Maya considered corn a gift from the gods and cultivating it was a sacred duty. It was so highly esteemed that jade, the most sacred of stones, was used to symbolize it (its green color reminiscent of tender green corn). In fact, according to the Popol Vuh, the sacred book of the Maya, humankind itself was made of corn; the gods had tried other materials and failed.
• It measures 4 inches tall and 2 inches wide.
