This sculpture is a modern, hand-carved wooden piece that incorporates several iconic symbols from Mexica (Aztec) and Maya mythology. It appears to be a commemorative or decorative "fusion" piece rather than a specific archaeological artifact, often created by skilled artisans in Mexico. The dominant figure coiling around the sculpture is the Feathered Serpent; known as Quetzalcoatl, he is the god of wind, air, and learning, or Kukulkan, he is a creator deity associated with the sun and rain. The snake represents the earth and physical world, while the feathers represent the sky and spiritual world. Together, they symbolize the union of heaven and earth. The human skull at the base or center is a profound Mesoamerican symbol. Unlike Western views of death as an end, the skull in this context represents rebirth and the cycle of life. It may also reference Mictlāntēcutli, the Aztec god of the underworld, or the "Vision Serpent" that acts as a gateway between the world of the living and the ancestors. It uses a high-relief carving technique, where the figures stand out prominently from the background. The dark, polished finish is characteristic of contemporary folk art found in regions like Chichén Itzá or the Riviera Maya.
