The Aztec Ehecatl Snake Figure is a remarkable stone sculpture representing Ehecatl, the Aztec god of wind, an aspect of the creator deity Quetzalcoatl. Dating from around 1400–1521 AD, this figure originates from central Mexico, the heart of the Aztec Empire.

Carved from volcanic stone, the sculpture portrays a human face emerging from the mouth of a coiled serpent—a symbolic image of transformation, divinity, and the invisible yet powerful force of the wind. Ehecatl was revered as the bringer of life-giving air and rain, whose breath set the sun and stars in motion.

The serpent form reflects the sacred connection between the earthly and celestial realms, embodying both fertility and renewal. This work exemplifies the Aztec mastery of stone carving and their deep spiritual relationship with natural elements, serving as both a religious icon and a testament to the sophistication of pre-Columbian art in Mesoamerica.
