Un hombre lleva un jeroglífico en la espalda mientras hace una pausa para descansar con su pesada carga. Él es conocido como mamá, o el "portador del tiempo". Según la leyenda maya, su función es llevar el peso de un año completo sobre su espalda, representado por el Haab glifo que lleva. Ángel Ortiz trabaja en la legendaria plata de ley de México, extraída en Taxco, para elaborar este original collar. El colgante se lleva en un cordón largo de caucho negro.

“Beautiful Carrier of Time Pendant!”

I was drawn to Angel's Carrier of Time pendant when I saw it. He travels with all who are struggling and burdened that year so they are not alone. He also carries a glyph for life force or sun which adds more to the meaning of bringing support, life, and hope to others. It has a nice heft and will always carry special meaning for me. Angel, I hope you pursue a series featuring endangered animals. They need our help also and would benefit from your artistry and care to detail. Thank you for creating such a beautiful message with this pendant!

“MEANINGFUL PIECE!”

This was purchased for many reasons- the symbol, where the silver was mined, the Mayan culture and a 25th anniversary gift. It is perfect in so many ways to my husband and myself not to mention the beauty and detail!

“Nice necklace”

Necklace is as pictured. Wish the chain was a little more feminine and shorter. Will probably use this pendant on a different chain.

“Great details”

While I wish these earrings were a bit longer, I still love them and wear them often. The attention to detail on the carvings is lovely.
