The turquoise mosaic of a double-headed serpent is one of the most alluring objects in the British Museum's Mexican Gallery. Made over 500 years ago, this icon of Aztec art is admired for its symmetry, beauty and colour. But it is also chilling and disquietening: those perfect curves end in teeth- and those teeth absolutely mean death. This absorbing book and DVD examines the serpent in detail: the materials, the tools and techniques used to craft it; its original purpose and symbolism; its aesthetic value in the world today. Also documenting the reign of the Emperor Moctezuma, this set is an ideal accompaniment to the this magnificent exhibition.
