Venturing into the historical roots of stonework, we uncover a tradition that traces its origins back to pre-colonial times. Skilled artisans transformed an array of stones, including volcanic rock, obsidian, jade, and onyx, into exquisite idols and temple reliefs. However, the arrival of the Spaniards in Mexico brought about a profound shift. They introduced new tools and technologies, ushering in an era of advancements in the art of stone carving. Consequently, artisans began incorporating more intricate relief work into church facades, government buildings, and private residences.

Seamlessly transitioning to Maison Numen’s distinguished line of volcanic stone products, it becomes evident that their collaboration with artisans in Tecalli, Puebla, stems from unwavering dedication. Tecalli, translating to “stone” in the Nahuatl language, stands as a historical town with significant importance as a center for stone carving. Nestled in a region abundant in volcanic stone, onyx, and specific marble varieties, Tecalli remains a thriving hub for preserving this timeless craft.

Proudly showcasing this remarkable piece in your home, you seamlessly experience the harmonious fusion of history, craftsmanship, and functionality—an embodiment of cultural richness and timeless artistry that captivates both the eye and the soul.
