Within the Maya Sacred Count of Days the daysign known as Kib’ is a multi-dimensional energy aligned with purification, industriousness, and intelligence. Often represented by the vulture, symbolic of this energy’s association with the “restoration of order”, this daysign is often aligned with the energies of prosperity, longevity, tolerance, practicality, and forgiveness. The spiral in the glyph represents the smoke of the votive candle that reaches towards Heaven.

Our jewelry items that are representative of Kib’ include one-of-a-kind porcelain pendants, some strung on cord, some beaded, some silver-backed, and some multi-fired with lustres. “Monumental” style items are those with the little “feet”. “Codex” style items are those without the “feet”. Sterling silver pendants are also available, along with personalized pieces. Click here for a Date Decoder to find the Maya Calendar equivalent to your date of birth.
