EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable jade statue of Quetzocoatl, the Feathered Snake, who is revered as the god of fertility and creator of mankind in Aztec mythology. Dating back to the period between 1350-1321, this ancient artifact holds immense cultural and historical significance. The intricately carved statue depicts Quetzocoatl with his distinctive feathered serpent form, symbolizing his divine power and connection to both earth and sky. As a central deity in Aztec religion, he was worshipped for his ability to bring abundance and prosperity to humanity. The use of jade as the material for this sculpture adds an ethereal quality to its appearance. Jade was highly valued by the Aztecs due to its rarity and association with life-giving properties. Its vibrant green hue further enhances the mystical aura surrounding this sacred representation.

This relic serves as a testament to human creativity and devotion towards understanding their place within the world.
