Vintage Onyx Stone Handcarved Aztec Mayan Ashtray 6x6

This vintage hand-carved onyx ashtray is a striking decorative piece inspired by ancient Mesoamerican design, prominently featuring a Mayan calendar-style motif engraved into the basin. Carved from pale, translucent onyx stone, the piece displays natural tonal variations ranging from soft ivory to warm beige, giving it an organic and timeless appearance. The circular form is accented by three sculpted rests around the rim, typical of mid-century stone ashtrays, blending function with sculptural appeal.

The finely etched calendar design showcases concentric rings of symbolic imagery reminiscent of traditional Mayan iconography, making this piece equally suitable as a conversation-starting décor object or collectible display item. While originally intended as an ashtray, it can also be repurposed as a catchall dish, altar piece, or decorative accent on a coffee table or shelf.

Likely produced in the mid-to-late 20th century, this piece reflects the popular revival of pre-Columbian-inspired art objects made for the decorative market. Its solid stone construction gives it a satisfying weight and durability, while the hand-carved detailing ensures that no two examples are exactly alike.
