Kʼinich Janaab Pakal I, also known as Pacal, Pacal the Great, 8 Ahau and Sun Shield, was ajaw of the Maya city-state of Palenque in the Late Classic period of pre-Columbian Mesoamerican chronology. He acceded to the throne in July 615 and ruled until his death in
August 26, 683 AD, He was 80 years old.
He has become famous because of hi s
arcophagus' lid
in the modern day as ancient alien theorists, following Erich Von Daniken's interpretation in his book
Chariots of the Gods
, claimed the lid depicts a man riding on a rocket ship, smoke issuing from an exhaust pipe behind him, and the glyphs representing outer space.
it measures 3.6x2 metres (12x7 feet) and shows a man tilting backwards at the base of a tree, with a bird high at the top, either falling into or springing out of what appears to be a large urn. Glyphs and symbols run around the edges of the lid, all representing important components of Mayan cosmology, which is actually the tree of life,
which the Maya believed had its roots in the underworld, trunk on the earthly plane, and branches high in paradise, and Pacal's relationship to it in death.
(sorry for bursting the bubble, we love alien theories as well!)
our goal is to keep our culture alive and well preserved in art, a trade that has been handed to my family from past generations, each item is hand crafted by us, there are not two alike, and I can assure that there is not another exact craft.
we put a lot of love into each one of our items, we strive to reach perfection even though it is nearly impossible, specially working with clay or ceramic, there could be stress marks or small cracks made by the changing temperatures our crafts are put to.
The piece is hand painted by us so you are taking a unique piece (there may be slight variations in the garigoleo compared to the photo)
our crafts are unique and will make a great piece of art for any place in your home, like office areas, bar rooms, living rooms and outside decor!!!
