Rochard Mayan Pyramid Limoges Box and Lift Off Sundial

A stepped Mayan pyramid rises in porcelain, topped by a sundial that lifts off as its own small piece. Rochard modeled this ancient landmark and painted it by hand in Limoges, France.

Temples of the Sun

The Maya built great stepped pyramids across Mexico and Central America, from Chichen Itza to Tikal, and they tracked the sun and stars with remarkable accuracy. Rochard nods to that skill by pairing the pyramid with a removable sundial. Each part is brushed by hand, so slight variations between sets are expected.

Ancient Wonders Pairings

• A Rochard landmark design, hand-painted in Limoges, France
• Fits a Mexico, ancient history or world travel grouping
• Pairs well with Egyptian pyramid, Parthenon and Colosseum boxes

From the Yucatan to Your Shelf

Set it on a study bookshelf among history books, a desk, or a curio cabinet with other world monuments. It makes a fine memento after a trip to Cancun, Tulum or Merida, a present for an archaeology student or history teacher, or a thank-you for a friend who led a tour of the ruins. Keep the sundial with the pyramid so the set stays complete for years to come.
