There are several inspirations behind this design.
\nThe first is the belief (I don’t know if it’s only Italian?) according to which lizards, or two-tailed reptiles in general, bring good luck.
\nI’ve heard this since I was a child, and the idea that an animal can have a double ends has always fascinated me a lot.
\nIt actually happens that some snakes with biicephaly are born!
\nI find it just magical.
\n.
\nFor this reason, I was struck by an Aztec sculpture (dating back to the 15\/16th century) depicting a two-headed snake. It could be a reference to Quetzalcoatl, a serpent god who symbolized both death and resurrection. ?
\nThe figure of two-headed mythical snakes is also present in other cultures, such as the mythological Amphisbaena, with a head at each end, spawned from the blood dripped from Gorgon Medusa’s head.
\n.
\nI did my best to make a rustic, antique-looking medal depicting a two-headed snake. I gave the back a scratched texture and engraved the Algiz rune, dear to me, as symbol of protection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
