Small Vase Piñata

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 took it to Italy, where it later passed to Spain and reached Mexico, making it an object of tradition. It acquired a religious meaning, with each beak representing the capital sins. Today, it is a very common object in our festivals and traditions.

Tin products traditionally handcrafted by Mexican artisans.
