Comment

Quetzalcoatl is one (if not the) main gods in the Mexica culture. Represents the duality of the human condition as the snake body, and the spirit, the feathers that cover it.

Interesting fact

The Quetzalcoatl silver coin's design features the serpent-like deity Quetzalcoatl, an essential figure in ancient Mesoamerican cultures, particularly in Aztec mythology.
