" Jade Wildflower"

Because of its characteristic green color, Jade was associated with life, fertility, and power. In addition, it symbolized the most valuable resources in agriculture: Water and Corn.

The Maya linked jade with the origin of the universe because according to Maya origin stories. the god of corn placed three jade stones during the foundation of the world, so in the royal burials it is also common to find ceramics with three jade stones.
