Historical Context — Nacochtli & Mayan Body Modification

Guatemalan jade was more valuable than gold to the ancient civilizations of Mesoamerica. The Maya used it for ear plugs, labret plugs, stone inlays in teeth, and ceremonial adornments — each piece a marker of spiritual power and cultural identity. These tunnels are more than jewelry; they are roots that link the wearer to the beginnings of body modification.
