Brazilian Steatite Evolian 2026 #08

This Evolian number 8 features a red etched Aztec symbol and depicts a stylized Mayan mask or totem symbol, the design being based on ancient Mayan traditions and rituals.

I've been carving these specific Evolians since 2012. Formerly called Ivolians (once affectionately named Ivo by a guardian after me), they were inspired by the  ancient shamanistic Mongolian skulls.
In 2026, new Evolians will be released regularly, all carved from various types of steatite (soapstone). I want to explore the different shapes and sizes within this Evolian theme. Each Evolian will be individually (sequentially) numbered.
