Double-Headed Serpent Artifact - Mesoamerican Art & Symbolism #1728944 (License: Personal Use)

This artifact features two intricately carved serpent heads facing outward, connected by a sinuous, coiled body composed of small white and black mosaic tiles-possibly shell and obsidian-set against a textured ochre-and-green patinated background. The open jaws, sharp teeth, and stylized eyes reflect sacred cosmological motifs central to pre-Columbian belief systems, where serpents embodied transformation, fertility, and celestial power. Signed “Palmu 12” in the lower right, it suggests a modern artistic reinterpretation grounded in archaeological authenticity.
