Itzpapalotl, 1900s
In Aztec myth, Itzpapalotl (“Clawed Butterfly”/”Obsidian Butterfly”) was a fearsome skeletal warrior goddess. She rules over Tamoanchan, the paradise of victims of infant mortality, the place where humans are created. As the mother of Mixcoatl, she could appear in the form of a beautiful, seductive woman or terrible goddess with a skeletal head and butterfly wings made of stone blades. Below is a Dancer in Paris, 1900s which could be used as a possible representation of Itzpapalotl
