Chichén Itzá Medal Necklace

Handmade Mayan Pyramid Necklace – Castle of Kukulkan
• Material: .925 Sterling Silver

Chichén Itzá is one of the most important and iconic archaeological sites of the ancient Maya civilization, located in the Yucatán Peninsula. The pyramid at its center, known as El Castillo or the Temple of Kukulkán, is a massive step pyramid dedicated to the feathered serpent god Kukulkán. This structure is not only a testament to the architectural and astronomical prowess of the Maya but also symbolizes their deep connection with the cosmos and natural cycles. During the spring and autumn equinoxes, a shadow resembling a serpent appears to slither down the pyramid's steps, representing Kukulkán’s descent to the earth. The pyramid embodies the Maya’s understanding of time, the seasons, and their reverence for the gods who governed both life and death.
