The Maya Tzolk'in

Chuwen

Tzolk'in day-sign 11 · the Monkey

The eleventh Tzolk'in day-sign — the monkey, play and the weaving of art.

Chuwen is the weaver at play: creativity, humor, and the artistry that ties loose threads into a whole. It makes and delights, learning that its play carries real craft when it stays with a thing.
