TREE OF LIFE
The Mayan legend of the Tree of Life, or Yaxche, is a captivating story that has been passed down through the ages. According to Mayan mythology, Yaxche was a sacred tree that stood at the center of the universe.
Its roots extended deep into the underworld, while its branches reached up into the heavens. The tree was a source of power and energy that connected all living things in the world.
The Mayans believed that the Yaxche tree was the pathway that connected the gods, humans, and the underworld. The gods would use the tree to come down to the earth, while humans would climb the tree to reach the heavens. The tree was also believed to have healing properties and was used in various rituals.
Another powerful symbol in Mayan mythology is the skull. The Mayans believed that the skull represented the seat of power and the essence of life. They adorned skulls with jewels and used them in rituals to honor the dead and communicate with the spirit world.
The skull is also a symbol of life, a reminder that life is short and that you need to live it to the fullest.
At BOMBERG, we share a deep appreciation for the rich cultural heritage of the Mayan civilization. To honor the Mayan legends of Yaxche and the skull, we create special timepieces that feature an engraved case and metal bracelet depicting the stories of both symbols.
With its intricate design and rich symbolism, this watch is not just a timepiece, but a wearable work of art that celebrates the beauty and complexity of Mayan culture.
