Informations supplémentaires

The Mayan rulers served as a link with the gods and participated in rituals, which included self-sacrifice, which consisted of piercing their ears with blood, which were then burned as an offering to the gods. It is possible that the serpentine movement of the smoke was associated with the two-headed serpent, from whose jaws emerged the head of the invoked ancestor, such as the one represented between these two characters.
