Synopsis
Children of the Plumed Serpent: The Legacy of Quetzalcoatl in Ancient Mexico accompanies an unprecedented exhibition, the first systematic investigation of the social and cultural complexities of the late pre-Columbian and early colonial eras as expressed in art.

For his followers, the narrative of the culture hero Quetzalcoatl informed every aspect of artistic production. Among the book's 240 illustrations are stunning images of codices, polychrome ceramics, textiles, and exquisite works in gold, turquoise, and shell.
