Coatlicue Statue - Other Statues

Other Statues

Another statue, called Yolotlicue ("heart-her-skirt"), was discovered in 1933. Though badly damaged, it is identical to Coatlicue except for having a skirt of hearts instead of snakes. Two fragments of a similar statue or statues also exist, suggesting that these were part of a larger set.

Famous quotes containing the word statues:

    And are not men than they more blind,
    Who having eyes yet never find
    The bliss in which they move:
    Like statues dead
    They up and down are carried,
    Yet neither see nor love.
    Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)

    But have you wine and music still,
    And statues and a bright-eyed love,
    And foolish thoughts of good and ill,
    And prayers to them who sit above?
    James Elroy Flecker (1884–1919)
