There is a game where each piece is in one of three states of being. These states are, Modern, Classic, and Sacrificed. Modern is mirror finished and smooth with an architectural futuristic appeal. Classic is modeled after the textures of weathered, aged, Mayan temples. Sacrificed is dark, and distressed with a highly textured, blackened surface.
As the story goes, the father and uncle of the Hero Twins were sacrificed. The head of Hun Hunahpu, the Hero Twin’s father was suspended in a calabash trophy tree. Xquic, daughter of a lord of Xibalba, approached this tree. Hunahpu’s skull spat into her hand, which impregnated her with the Hero Twins. The curved bar represents the branch of calabash tree. The seven thistles represent the heads hung on the branch of the calabash trophy tree that Xquic visited on that day.
