Feathered Serpent with Spiral Eyes
This sculpted head (c. 250 AD) from Teotihuacán’s Temple of the Feathered Serpent features open jaws, a radiating feathered collar, and spiral-shaped eyes—symbols of divine breath and sacred force. The spirals, often used to depict wind or speech, highlight the serpent’s role as a creator and celestial mediator.
