Bocote
The Bocote tree (Cordia spp.) is a tropical hardwood species native to Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean. It is highly prized for its distinctive wood, which features a striking pattern of golden-brown tones with dark, wavy grain lines that often resemble eyes or swirls. Bocote wood is durable and dense. The tree also plays an important ecological role, supporting local wildlife and maintaining biodiversity in its native habitats. Due to its desirability, sustainable harvesting practices are crucial to preserving this valuable resource.
Crafted from a single piece of Bocote, this design draws inspiration from the enlightenment symbolized by the 11-sided shape, the hendecagon. The number eleven is often linked to heightened awareness, sensitivity, and spiritual insight. It also universally resonates with themes of intuition, duality, and connection to something greater.
