Lord Creator Maya Glyph Batik on Indigo Cotton Wall Panel, "Indigo A-ja-wa"

Batik on cotton reveals with amazing detail the Maya glyph for A-ja-wa ("Noble"), lord creator. "A-ja-wa is the essence of everything, even in the water and in the air. That's why our grandparents also called it Loq'oläj, referring to life itself - and it is the most sacred thing that exists according to our worldview," explains Grace Guirola. Expert in the art of textile dyes, she extracts color from indigo leaves harvested in her family's hacienda.
