Advertise for Seasonal Exposition of Xochipilli, April - July 2018. Museo Nacional de Antropologia e Historia Mexico City


The statue is metres high and has Xochipilli seated on a temple platform (or perhaps a drum) which is decorated with butterflies, flowers and clusters of four dots representing the sun. Xochipilli is wearing a mask and is himself covered in flowers from psychotropic plants, hallucinogenic mushrooms and animal skins. Cross-legged and care-free the god is portrayed happily singing and playing his rattles, a vibrant symbol of all the good things in life.(World History Encyclopedia)
