The ancient Mayans had unique kitchen structures called fogones, which were open-air cooking areas with stone hearths. To give an ancient Mayan kitchen a modern twist, glass pendant lights can be installed. These lights would provide a warm and inviting glow, creating a cozy atmosphere for cooking and gathering. The glass pendants would also add a touch of elegance to the rustic charm of the Mayan kitchen, highlighting the intricate stone craftsmanship.
