Comments:
Many reclining figures with hands grasping
platelike receptacles held over
the belly, are found at Chichen Itza. It is
believed that the plates are
for the hearts of sacrifice victims. The sculpture is a vivid symbol of the inevitable cycle of life and death, each feeding on the other. Life taking nourishment from the death of life. Death consuming life to make blood for new life. This is where hearts, ripped out of chests and still beating, were placed on this belly, the part of the body from which new life swells. A terrible foreboding symbol of what eternity demands of life. - george
