Histoyre du Mechique
The comprehension of this image relevated in the basis of a monument, is useful to support the hypothesis that this museum is to prove.
Its body is in all ways similar to that of other several where the head, as in Coatlicue, is the union of two ophidian heads; that is to say, they represent, as in the same Coatlicue, the unity of the two divine serpents and the human being; that is, the infinite condensation of the mass at infinite temperature, about to explode to give origin to the universe.
But the head figured in this image is, undoubtedly, that of a human being. A human being is, then, what this image represents.
Nevertheless, in it the joints -the hands, the feet, the elbows, the knees are visible- can be seen garnered with eyes and mouths. It is, then, a human figure that shows eyes and mouths in its joints, as the one indicated in our basic text of the Histoyre du Mechique; she who the gods saw walking over uncreated waters, and whose sight incited them to the act of universal creation; transmuted both in great serpents, joining her they were to constitute, as in the images highlighted before, the representation of condensed matter about to explode and expand.
The features of this image are used to represent the human figure in the following illustration of the mentioned text.
