Aztec Deity Quetzalcoatl - Mythological Illustration & Symbolism #3379170 (License: Personal Use)

This stylized line drawing portrays Quetzalcoatl, the Nahua deity associated with wind, knowledge, priesthood, and the morning star. He is shown with a prominent feathered headdress, a long pendant-like tongue (often interpreted as a serpent or sacrificial knife), and two serpents emerging from his shoulders-symbolizing duality and transformation. His striped tunic, loincloth, and open-handed gestures reflect ceremonial iconography found in codices like the Codex Borgia.
