ceiba's prehispanic meaning
This tree's name is Ceiba, it is a really tall tree.... on prehispanic times the ceiba had a important meaning, the natives thought that ceiba was the connection between the sky, the earth and the underworld also represents the 4 cardinal points. So they represented it on their ceramics and on incense burners as the one you can see on the photo.
