Editing Vision Serpent (section)

==Maya jewelry and pottery==
A piece of Maya jewelry depicts an “[[Anthropomorphism|anthropomorphic]], bicephalous serpent.” It is believed to have been worn during a bloodletting ceremony. It clearly shows the arrival of an ancestor from the spirit realm.

The portrayal of the Vision Serpent was very prevalent in Maya pottery. Vessels used during bloodletting ceremonies, depict the Vision serpent. The vessels below are excellent examples. They are carved in stone and are “some of the earliest depiction of Vision Serpent [[iconography]]. Blood spews forth from the open jaws of the front head. Although the rear is not physically attached, it sits just above the serpent's tail and also represents blood”.<ref>Schele & Miller (1992){{Page needed|date=September 2010}}</ref>
