Ancient sculpture of aztec goddess Mictecacihuatl



Ancient sculpture of aztec goddess Mictecacihuatl
Could it be a form of Bhairavi? We can see both hands in TYPICAL Hindu-Buddhist Mudra.
Known as the Mistress of Bones and the Lady of the Dead, she is the Queen of Mictlan, the Aztec Underworld, who still presides over today’s Day of the Dead rituals. Sometimes known now as La Huesuda, she brings peace and joy to the spirits of the deceased, and blesses the living who do honor to those who have passed before them.
