Large Quetzal Piñata Glass Box Cards and Envelopes

The Mayan civilization practiced a blindfolded game of breaking a hanging clay pot filled with cocoa, which can be traced back to a piñata, which originated in China and was common for New Year celebrations. Marco Polo brought it from Italy where it passed to Spain until it reached Mexico, turning it into an object of tradition. It acquired a religious meaning, with each beak representing the capital sins. Today it is an object of great tradition in our festivals and traditions.

Quetzal is a word of Nahuatl origin, associated with Quetzali "Beautiful Brilliant Feather", the Aztecs associated it with Quetzalcoatl and the Mayans with Kukulkan in both the link was with deities related to heaven and earth, that is, the underworld and the upper world.
