Clay vessel
In Aztec mythology, the god Huitzilopochtli destroyed his sister Coyolxauhqui and her four hundred brothers with the fire serpent Xiuhcoatl. This is depicted with its snout bent far back and its body segmented. In the Codex Borgia, four fire serpents (Xiuhcoatl) are shown around a turquoise mirror. The fire serpent is the symbol of the central Mexican fire god Xiuhtecuhtli.A.Nicklisch 2003
