Aztec double-headed serpent
The fearsome Aztec double headed serpent, rendered in play-dough
Yesterday for our art project we made playdough double-headed serpents, using the picture below as a model. Apparently, this symbol was used as a ceremonial chest ornament that may have been worn by priests (perhaps while they performed ritual human sacrifice… who knows). Sasha added water to make the serpent more comfortable. It was a good opportunity to introduce Sasha to Aztec culture and art. We plan to make more art inspired by ancient civilizations.
