## Image Caption

Coatlicue (pron. Co-at-li-cu-e) or 'Serpent Skirt' was a major deity in the [Aztec pantheon](https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1034/aztec-pantheon/) and regarded as the earth-mother goddess. Represented as an old woman, she symbolised the antiquity of earth worship and she presents one of the most fearsome figures in [Aztec art](https://www.worldhistory.org/Aztec_Art/). This is an artist's impression drawn by Chloe Bonnet.
