Vision Serpent
Vision serpents are often depicted being summoned by kings and nobles during the Mayan self-sacrifice bloodletting rituals, whereby the supplicant's own blood would be sprinkled upon sacred paper that was then burned to produce the smoke from which the vision serpent would emerge.
The serpent was seen as the means by which ancestors or deities could communicate directly with the living world, so the vision serpents are often depicted with a human head emerging from their open jaws, usually gesturing with a hand to indicate wisdom being bestowed.
