This paper aims the relationship between the cult of the feathered serpent, a symbol of an important Mesoamerican deity and the ruler of the Mixteca region, Eight Deer, Jaguar Claw, during the eleventh century AD. The cult images appear on a written record, the Codex Nuttall, and highlights pictoglyph narratives associated with the cult of the feathered Serpent in public spaces in the Mixteca. The ruler Eight Deer, Jaguar Claw, appears in some of them, which leads to the inference that the worship legitimized the king’s power.References
