Tzolk'in Maya Calendar
Custom painted date glyphs
Custom painted date glyphs
The Maya calendar is a hot item this year because of the alleged prophecy of the end of the world. I have been using Maya date glyphs for years in my work, not so much because of my interest in the Maya calendar systems (which are quite incredible!), but because I love the symbols and their graphic quality.
Below some custom painted Maya date glyphs for a variety of customers and occasions.
