This Jade Carving is inspired on the Mayan Culture.
TEXTURES ARE VERY IMPORTANT ON A CARVING
I carved this Mayan Face looking for the greatest naturalness in the features and texture, the skin looks like real. The final composition of this sculpture is jade with hardwood, the two hardest materials known to the Maya, Jade and Zapote Wood. Iconic materials from Mayan and Olmec Cultures. I invite you to watch the video showing the carving process of this Mayan Prince and to share your comments!
