Maya Vision Serpent
12x 8 inches (Tablet)
13x 8 inches (Tablet + Stand)
The Maya Vision Serpent symbolizes the passage of ancestral spirits and the gods of Xibalba (the maya underworld) into our world. In states of ecstasy and usually following penis or tongue bloodletting, particularly as graphically depicted at Yaxchilan, maya mobility invoke the vision serpent. During special ceremonies, bloody papers were burnt in a sacred bowl and from it, this great undulating serpent rises and from its mouth emerges an ancestor or, occasionally, a deity. Created on real black slate - not plaster, resin or plastic.
