Feathered Serpent
The feathered serpent is a representation of the Nahuatl god Quetzalcoatl, who was worshipped by various peoples of Mexico and Central America. The root of the name Quetzalcoatl comes from the term quetzalli, an expression that alludes to the bright green tail feathers of the quetzal, a bird, and coatl, simply, "serpent".
He is a benevolent god toward the Aztec people, who taught them arts and crafts. There are various representations of this god in pre-Columbian Mexican architecture.
