On page 56 of the Borgia Codex, illustrated here, two of the Central Mexican creator gods are depicted back-to-back over an upside-down mask representing the underworld. On the left, the skeletal god of the underworld, Mictlantecuhtli, holds a scepter formed from a pustule-covered human arm.

On the right, the long-beaked wind god, Ehecatl (associated with both Venus and the Feathered Serpent) wears the cut shell and cone-shaped hat that are among his principal attributes.

The Feathered Serpent was a prominent supernatural entity or deity. It is called Quetzalcoatl among the Aztecs, Kukulkan by the Yucatec Maya, and Q’uq’umatz and Tohil among the K’iche’ Maya.
