These bookends pay homage to the jaguar—an enduring symbol of power, protection, and transformation in Mayan culture and Mesoamerican mythology. Named Otoch, meaning "home" in Yucatec Maya, the pieces reflect a spiritual connection to place, ancestry, and form.
Design
Hand-carved from authentic Mayan stone, the bookends feature a geometric abstraction of a jaguar’s claw. Their solid form, natural texture, and earthy tones root them in the language of myth and material. Sculptural yet functional.
