The venerated serpent, drawn under the Maya canons as being part of the Tree of the World. Charcoal and color pencil.
In ancient times this vision snake was invoked by the rulers and priets of old, in sacred rituals within temples or at the top of pyramids. This was done in order to contact the ancestors. The revered ancestors would then manifest in this world only through this vision snake. They will come out of the mouth of the snake. In many cases, it was done so the spirit of the beloved deceased could witness a specific event or festivity.
