[Aztlan] Jester God

[D. M. Urquidi]

Itr probably started with the Chichen Itza mural that shows a Sun and a False sun behind it. Bo
  with human figures inside each.
   
  Then do a quick turn to Palenque and you see the son of Pacal being presented with a serpent foot (body of the Quetzalcoatl figure of the Codex Rios) and the Jester God (cigar head) mask.  It is a very strong power figure in All Mesoamerican art forms. The Maya just translated it to the power structure of the rulers.

  Listeros: The books Maya Cosmos and Lost Cities of the Maya have a drawing and picture of the Palenque King Kan-Hok Chitam represented on a Panel from Tonina. He wears a headdresses of a Jester God with plumes. I have seen this almost exact headdresses on other Kings. Why is the Jester God in the attire and wardrobe of so many Kings? Also may the Owl represent war and the Jaguar death in different situations? M.F.Malo
