They are Really Beautiful! Much more delicate than you can tell from the picture, but large enough to be noticed and make an impact.

Many of their designs include jade, which was highly valued by ancient civilizations in the area and used as ornaments, tools, and burial artifacts. Their artwork is often a reflection of Guatemalan culture and they used techniques passed down over generations.
