Ancient Mesoamerican civilizations regarded beautiful Butterflies as messengers who carried the souls of warriors who had died in battle or women who passed on in childbirth to spiritual places. The Mayan regard the butterfly's metamorphosis as a metaphor for the human journey, the cycle of life and death. Danette Laate's gorgeous butterfly has been carved from apatite and inlaid with turquoise eyes and lovely wing accents. About 1 3/4" tall, 1 1/4" wide and 3/8" deep.
