Description

Filigree engraved Aztec calendar with delicate drawn lines in 5 mm thick maple wood.
An absolute eye-catcher with beautiful sacred symbols and signs.

The Aztec and Mayan calendars are fascinating cultural artifacts deeply rooted in Mesoamerican history. These two calendar systems bear witness to the astonishing astronomical and mathematical expertise of the Aztecs and Mayans that shaped their civilizations centuries ago.

The Aztec calendar, also known as the Tonalamatl, consists of two main cycles: the Tonalpohualli, a 260-day cycle consisting of 20 daily signs and 13 numbers, and the Xiuhpohualli, a 365-day cycle consisting of 18 months of 20 days each and a final short month of 5 “unlucky” days. These two cycles interact with each other and create a common 52-year calendar cycle, the “bundle of the century” or “bundle of 52 years”.

The Mayan calendar, on the other hand, is more complex and consists of different cycles, including the Tzolk’in (260 days) and the Haab (365 days). The Maya also used the Long Counting Calendar, which could accurately track astronomical events in a very short period of time. This calendar reached the 13th Baktun on December 21, 2012, a date that has been mistakenly interpreted as the apocalyptic end.

The high-quality Mayan calendar you describe, engraved with the finest lines in 5 mm thick maple wood, reflects the artful craftsmanship and aesthetic sophistication of these ancient cultures. The intricate drawings that adorn the calendar probably represent mythological symbols, gods, and astronomical concepts that were of vital importance to the Maya.

This maple wood masterpiece is not only a decorative element, but also a tribute to the profound spiritual and scientific heritage of the Aztecs and Mayans. It is a reminder of the complexity of their timekeeping and their deep connection to the cosmos. Such artful representations help to keep the legacy of these great civilizations alive in our modern world.
