Hunab Ku - Creator - Plant-Based Ivory Pendant

Pendant in Vegetable Ivory - Hunab Ku

For the Maya, Hunab Ku was the supreme God and the greatest Creator.

It represented the gateway to other Galaxies beyond our Sun, and all the Consciousness that has ever existed in this Galaxy.

Hunab Ku, according to the Maya, is also the Consciousness that organized all matter, from a “whirling disc,” into stars, planets, and solar systems.

Hunab Ku is the “Mother’s Womb” that continuously gives birth to new stars and gave birth to our own Sun and Planet Earth.

They believed that the “Creator” directed everything that happens in our Galaxy from its center, through the periodic emission of explosions of “Consciousness Energy.”

Material

Corozo, or “Vegetable Ivory” or “Tagua,” is made from the dried seed of the tropical plant “Phytelephas macrocarpa,” commonly known as the elephant plant (Phytos = plant, elephas = elephant).

The plant, which resembles a coconut palm, grows in the humid equatorial belt of central South America (Ecuador).

Each plant produces 8–10 inflorescences per year, each containing 250 seeds. When fresh, they contain a milky white liquid that, after 9 months of maturation, solidifies and turns into a white material very similar to animal ivory.

After drying, corozo nuts are cut into slices. The turned slice becomes a washer with regular dimensions.

The original color, ranging from optical white to antiqued ivory, should be considered “natural” par excellence.

Dyeing with natural earths emphasizes the shape and highlights its unique and extraordinary grain, which is very similar to that of burled wood.
