Although commonly known as Quetzalcoatl in his guise as the Plumed Serpent, this relief depicts a human emerging from the maw of a serpent with a huge bundle of feathers behind. The motif is similar to the one found on Xochicalco stelae and may or may not depict a warrior wearing a full-scale snake helmet, much like the Toltec coyote order warrior.
