Summary
One of the feathered serpent heads that decorated the Temple of the Feathered Serpent (or Temple of Quetzalcoatl) in Teotihuacan.
The burials, like the structure, are dated to some time between 150 and 200 CE. The pyramid takes its name from representations of the Mesoamerican "feathered serpent" deity which covered its sides. These are some of the earliest-known representations of the feathered serpent, often identified with the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl.
