Aztec double-headed serpent, Mesoamerican culture

The Double-headed serpent is an Aztec sculpture kept at the British Museum. It has been proposed that the serpent was a symbol of rebirth because of its ability to shed its old skin and appear as a reborn snake. The feathered serpent god Quetzalcoatl was important to their religion, but other gods also had serpentine characteristics.

Believed to be associated with either rebirth, or the earth and the underworld.
