MAYANA BOWL (Jícara)
$45.00
Description
Enjoy your favourite Hot Cacao Elixir with this special drinking vessel – or use it as a container or decor accent.
This jícara is made from a fruit shell from the calabash tree. It’s decorated with “the maque” technique by a man named Filemón in Oaxaca, Mexico.
In Mexico, the word jícara comes from xicalli, a Nahuatl word meaning a vessel or container. The jícara was used in prehispanic times as a cup and also as a measure.
The color tone and size may vary (13-15cm diameter).
